So I’m pretty new to the game, so my understanding of the card pool is kind of shallow. I really want to build a deck around self-milling and then playing stuff from my graveyard, not really using it to win the game by self deckout, kind of similar to stuff like Lightsworn or Tearlament if you’ve played yugioh. I was wondering if anyone knew any cards that could be good for a deck of that theme in modern or commander
#Self-Mill Stuff
tall nacelle
crude axle
im guessing it something like dredge in mtg
tall nacelle
Okay
crude axle
there couple of graveyard strategies in magic so it hard to pinpoint which
there is reanimator which tries to [[reanimate]] a big creature from the graveyard
slow crescentBOT
crude axle
there is izzet phoenix which wants [[arclight phoenix]] in the graveyard and spam spells afterwards
slow crescentBOT
crude axle
there are [[living end]] decks which tries to abuse living end and tries to cascade the card for free without casting it for suspend
slow crescentBOT
Sorcery
Suspend 3—
Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way onto the battlefield.
tall nacelle
Okay, I think I might try izzit pheonix
crude axle
and finally dredge deck which uses dredge card like [[golgari grave troll]] to dredge and play some free/cheap spells that goes to graveyard
slow crescentBOT
Creature — Troll Skeleton
Golgari Grave-Troll enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature card in your graveyard.
, Remove a +1/+1 counter from Golgari Grave-Troll: Regenerate Golgari Grave-Troll.
Dredge 6 (If you would draw a card, you may mill six cards instead. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand.)
0/0

Alright well I’m gonna go do some research on these, thanks for the suggestions
urban viper
I have a deck with lurrus of the dream den as the commander and it's full of cards like shriekhorn codex shredder wand of vertebrae and altar of dementia
crude axle
oh yeah you got [[lurrus]] too which tries to abuse it passive to recast stuff
slow crescentBOT
Legendary Creature — Cat Nightmare
Companion — Each permanent card in your starting deck has mana value 2 or less. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for 
as a sorcery.)
Lifelink
Once during each of your turns, you may cast a permanent spell with mana value 2 or less from your graveyard.
3/2
tall nacelle
What payoffs are you hoping to mill?
crude axle
it depends on the deck
tall nacelle
Okay
crude axle
like lurrus it just want anything lower than 2cmc and a permanent
urban viper
My lurrus deck is about wearing down the table by reusing stax cards until you can do a combo
If that is interesting to you
Cards like [[benalish sleeper]]
slow crescentBOT
Creature — Phyrexian Human Soldier
Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.)
When Benalish Sleeper enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, each player sacrifices a creature.
Even he didn't know what he was until he felt his skin shifting and splitting, his mind overtaken by a chaos of whispers.
3/1
crude axle
there is also [[recurring nightmare]] deck which abuse nightmare repeatedly
slow crescentBOT
urban viper
Never seen that one before 👀
crude axle
it banned in commander
tall nacelle
Alright well I think I’m gonna probably do some research on izzit pheonix and lurrus
Both of those seem interesting
crude axle
i think the current big reanimator target now is [[Atraxa, Grand Unifier]] cause it draws a bunch and have lifelink+vigilance
slow crescentBOT
crude axle
there a deck called tinfin which tries to reanimate [[griselbrand]] and combo off by drawing bunch of cards and sacrificing giselbrand over
