Forum:Self milling

Ok...I hear people saying all the time that self milling is GOOD. Can someone please explain to me WHY? For example, Ryko lets you destroy 1 card, and in addition lets you mill 3 from your deck. Sure, I get the destory 1 card bit, but why is self milling considered a good thing? People say "it also allows" instead of "but you have to" mill 3. WHY??

I know that self mill can speed up the deck, for example if you play with Exodia, and it also allows you to use Pot of Avarice more quickly, which is certainly good. However you will definitely mill some spell/traps that you cannot retrieve so easily. While this may not be such a bad thing, its very possible that you may lose some key cards, like a Monster Reborn. That would be fail. IPlay4Fun (talk • contribs) 07:09, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
