What do you hide under Shelldock Isle, usually?

Sanity Grinding. Sometimes Cryptic, because its then a 2 mana counter.

I don't know, I'm not too keen on Isle. Is it REALLY good? For me it seems more like a win-more card.

Well...it helps you sort out the chaff from the top of your deck, and it either cleans out junk you don't need atm or it lets you hide a finisher that finishes them at 20 cards.

Well, if you say so.. Then again, why not, right? It IS monoblue after all.

Then you're switching to semi-mill and semi-control, and that's not a very viable strategy, milling decks have to be dedicated, at least in constructed, if you expect to ever mill someone.
