Long time lurker, first time poster. This is my Szadek EDH that isn't actually a mill deck, though it has come down to that in games past. I've only been able to play about a half dozen games, so it still has some kinks to work out. Hoping to get some advice.
The deck has multiple routes to victory, the primary one is equipping Szadek with a Fireshrieker and Sunstrike Trident. Can easily one-shot an opponent with the combo after a single attack if you have Mind Over Matter or Sorin Markov on board. You have lots of tutors and Transmuters to assemble the pieces you need, and several board dominating creatures and control cards to buy you time. The deck is pretty consistent, but Szadek has a big target on his forehead since people are expecting a mill-attack. I know the lands need a lot of work, but I'm coming back from a three-year hiatus so I'm trying to pick up what I can. These are a few cards I'm considering adding that I don't have:
Are there any glaring problems or obvious inclusions I'm missing? I'm not really interested in going an all-mill route (which I would just do with Oona and infinite mana combos, anyway). Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Without a Consecrated Sphinx, I'm not able to break the symmetry of the artifacts. I added a couple solid Counterspells and Bob in their place. I'm also thinking about a Cryptic Command.
i dont normally like planeswalkers in my edh decks because they just paint a target on me and my stuff, but in my szadek mill, ive got jace 1.0 and jace 3.0 because of the world card draw. i had jtms in it but he didnt fit the deck. it looks like your just headed in a B/U smash with all the fatties you have. there's enough control there that it looks like it stands up but lacks focus. just my opinion
