Mill Keyword Viability

New • 03 Dec 2016 • Asked by blessedmulligan-blog • 28 Comments

Has there ever been any actual research done into the viability of "mill" as a keyword, or has it just been assumed not to work? is there a difference if the cards involved carry direct "mill" imagery (millstone, grindstone, etc) as opposed to those that don't (mind funeral, glimpse the unthinkable, etc)?

Shadows over Innistrad tried out keywords for “mill” (put into graveyard from library) in design playtests but they all read as discard as much as mill.

Glimpse the Unthinkable Trivia

Hey Maro, it's finally my birthday! Could I get any trivia on my favorite card, Glimpse the Unthinkable, or perhaps just the Dimir in general? Thanks!

It’s not that the people of Ravnica don’t believe the Dimir exist. They just believe the guild has fallen on hard times and is just a shell of its former self. Happy Birthday!

Milling Mechanics

Seeing as mono blue can mill but mono black cannot, how do you justify blue/black cards that do nothing but mill (like Glimpse the Unthinkable), or where the only other thing they do is also something that mono blue does but mono black doesn't (like Psychic Strike)?

Black is secondary at milling and every once in a while gets to do straight milling. Usually it does lobotomy/extract going after specific cards in the library but in a pinch it can straight mill.
