Sadly not article-related, but a question I have nonetheless; I'm currently building a casual deck built around Undead Alchemist [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=244684] and Lich Lord of Unx [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=179555]. Aside from "zombies", "the obvious milling cards", and "counterspells 'cause you're playing blue", are there any cards you can suggest that might prove interesting? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply here, but in case you're still looking for interesting inclusions for a UB Zombie-mill style of deck, depending on how many creatures you run Call to the Kindred [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=262706] might be something worth considering. If you're running at least 12-14 creatures, it seems pretty solid as it should connect most turns.

I'm also a big fan of Artful Dodge [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=230767] that might be worth including.

Also, Blue Sun's Zenith [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=221556] is an hilarious way to finish off an opponent with a Mill deck, or just draw into the cards you need to win.

It's interesting that you mention Curiosity. I was actually thinking of pairing it with Vedalken Ghoul. [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=183010] I like the choice this would present; Either I get cards, or they get smacked. Even considering the obvious 2-for-1, that's still two life lost per card, which fits in line with The Philosophy of Fire.

In addition, I actually was considering Blue Sun's Zenith, simply because it's the one zenith spell I have enough copies of to play, but I hadn't considered using it as a finishing blow. Perhaps if the life-loss strategy falls through? Call, as well, is something I had not considered. It actually seems like a good idea; even the few control decks I make tend to be pretty creature-heavy, and Call seems like a cheaper, albeit conditional, alternative to Rooftop Storm. Either way, free zombies!
