Do you have a friend who just doesn't quite seem to be with it? He or she are present but not really contributing. They might have a mill deck. To get them help, please visit www.PhenaxDeceivedMeToo.com. This could be a matter of, well, we'd say life and death, but they're really not doing anything to life totals, because they keep trying to mill everyone... But it is a matter.
In this episode, Kyle explains mill themes and the many pitfalls of the strategy. Have a listen to explore the nuance of milling to win, milling for benefits--this is definitely the highly deductible of win cons--and all about nonbos and making sure your mill theme has an accountant to check your numbers.
For those interested, here's a Phenax deck that exhibits a good number of things we talked about this episode:

And here's a good article from EDHREC that talks a little about mill in Muldrotha:

It's also worth checking out Sidisi, Brood Tyrant on EDHREC for a cursory glance at self-mill in context:
