HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT MILL DECKS?????

[Alphaeus]

I'm about to uninstall Arena for good. Nothing I do can defeat mill decks that destroy everything and mill everything. I am so furious right now.

[Gilga ™ |Yonaguni|]

Depends on the color you play. I play a 250 cards deck and i have no problems with mill.

I had a similar mentality back when Ruin Crab was in Standard. Then I gave into the dark side and started using it myself.

[Nubbles]

So... what commander are they playing? And what commander are you playing? They must be playing something better than Jace if it's so bad, right? But I haven't come across a good milling commander yet and I venture into hellqueue sometimes.

[Berserkr]

They hate it when they hit a Gaea's Blessing in the milled cards

I was about to say the same thing. I've gotten people to concede turn two off of that one.

[Den Bjornen]

What are the major mill decks in currently played in formats on Arena?

Except that card isn't allowed in Standard.

Is mill powerful in standard?

Can be. I've been milled to death in a single turn by Jace, the Perfected Mind more than once. Back when it was still in standard I saw my fair share of Ruin Crabs too. I personally don't think its that overpowered though, but it can be very annoying indeed.

There is this magical button! It exists in the menu, by the name of Concede. It's...quiet, Magical. I hear.

[DoDonPachi]

Youre acting as if having having your library milled actually does anything on its own

Mill decks are control decks, youre on a timer regardless of win con

Edit: skill issue

[Merry Christmas X-Box Its Usher]

i think if you go on mtggoldfish basically any deck on there would dumpster a standard mill deck.

[Phifedawg]

The main idea is to play more aggressive and kill them first. Alternatively, give yourself hexproof or play cards that benefit from being in your graveyard.

[TaterTot]

It depends on what format you are playing.
But Calix, Guided by Fate Enchantments is extremely rude to play XD
Stack with exile and trample and you are good to go.

I copy so many exile enchantments it makes so many rage quit for faster victories. :P

Outside that maybe Landfall might be able to overpower it going head to head. Or just Run some kind of Toxic Prolif theme. Or just 110% pure sacrafice mono black.

Magic has so many options to play. There are far more ways then 1 to beat a mill deck.

[MrDammit]

Use a deck that utilizes the graveyard. Mill opponents tend to quit when they realize they're helping you..
