C/D: mono blue players are the worst

MtG?

My friend wants to teach me that game. My friend also exclusively plays blue and black decks. Including one affectionately refered to as the Smoke Break. It basically means nobody but him can play for the coming 20 to 30 minutes.

I have not accepted my friends offer so far.

I don't know what that is.

Kismet Stasis is the worst.

I only like Mono Blue when I'm playing Mono Blue. so yeah.

I used to play MTG in college, I liked running green decks.

So yeah, I hated blue. Let me get my big monsters out, you jerks :(

As a mint choco chip player, they can dash their waves against me futilely.

had to look that up, holy shit that looks awful

I had a blue/black Dimir deck with Lazav that also had some nasty mill and discard.

Made that deck up in some draft, and it was the only time I ever won a draft, so I went like "okay, let's make this a real one".

I'm pretty sure winning a draft via mill is one the qualifications for the Antichrist.

The fun part is that it wasn't about milling their whole library, just enough of it.

Wights which gets +1/+1 for each creature card in enemy graveyards:

Lazav, which is hexproof and could become a copy of any creature card that got put into an enemy graveyard:

Duskmantle mage which could deal dmg per mill, or mill on demand.

Mixed with some nasty cipher spells on Lazav, some Dimir charm, and that was already most of the strategy.

The advantage was it being a draft.

No sane mind would pick a milling card, but thanks to drafting Lazav and the wights early, I was able to focus early on it, and got all these nice "leftovers".

You're probably mostly against mono-blue decks with tons of counterspells and only a few win conditions, like the "CMU Blue, World Championships 1998" deck here (I don't know if this kind of deck is still good in any format):

Who's against mono-blue Merfolk decks?

Yeah I'm admittedly a counter spell hater
