Strategy notes

The "Failing Hard" deck is a Historic format Mill archetype utilizing blue and black (Dimir) colors. Its primary strategy is to deplete the opponent's library, causing them to lose the game by drawing from an empty deck. Key synergies include the use of Mesmeric Orb and Hedron Crab to continuously mill cards whenever lands or permanents untap or enter the battlefield. Fraying Sanity doubles the mill effect on the opponent each turn, while Archive Trap and Glimpse the Unthinkable offer significant bursts of mill. The deck employs Force of Will and Daze for counterspell protection, ensuring its mill strategy is uninterrupted. Jace, the Mind Sculptor provides additional control and alternate win conditions if necessary. Thought Scour and Mind Funeral further accelerate the mill plan. The deck uses a robust mana base with fetch lands like Polluted Delta to ensure color consistency and trigger additional milling from Hedron Crab. Overall, the deck aims to win by rapidly emptying the opponent's library, leveraging a combination of consistent milling effects and protective counterspells.
