red mill cards mtg Stormsplitter The Spiciest Budget Mill Deck

Add in the ability to keep your best creature and the flexibility to serve as a protective spell and you have a winner

This deck is also an elf tribal build

But creature tokens are how it truly shines

A board full of elves gets taller as it gets wider, meaning that the power and toughness of many elves grow larger as you accumulate more creatures

It's effect is on-going, and you can build around it with artifact creatures or things you can't target (like Protection from Black) or indestructible stuff that can't be destroyed at all

Reason #3: Board Control I will admit, preventing all combat damage by itself is a stopgap move, a way to last just a little longer till your deck goes off
