Modern Ally Mill Deck

[MarineRaider]

Have an idea for Mill Ally deck



I need help to finish it

4-Turntimber Rangers
4-Halimar Excavators
4-Harabaz Druids

4-XenoGrafts

Thinking of splashing W for Ondu Cleric and Hada Freeblade.

General Idea is to use Xenograft and Turntimber Ranger to create the needed amount of allies to cause the Excavator to mill the deck.

Can't you just swing with a bunch of wolf tokens?

[MarineRaider]

You would need to wait a turn to do that, if my premise works the turn the Ranger hits the field, the mill begins and ends the game.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade and I don't want to stifle anyone's creativity, but this deck just seems to fail the baseline Modern litmus test: It doesn't win on turn 4 unopposed and the "combo" isn't any easier to assemble than other viable options (e.g. Splinter Twin). If this is a route you want to take, I think you need to take more of a midrange approach and pack some disruption. What is good about the deck is that it has the option of just going beat down and winning without the mill combo.

I agree...but slivers seem a bit better with the new one drop winged sliver.

I was planning on running Cancels and Mana leaks with this, this wont be a major tourney deck just something fun to play at the local FNM modern events. What I am trying to figure out is what else to add to this creature wise or if the 12 creatures is enough what other spells to run while I set this up.

Momentart Blink, Cloudshift, and Restoration Angel all seem like they would support your plan, all the while providing a few more angles. You could add more allies or do tricks with Congregation at Dawn. Mulldrifter and Reveillark for value, maybe Mirror Entity as a win condition.

Phantasmal Image and Jwari Shapeshifter seem pretty solid, they're additional Excavators.
