Deck Distiller could be fun in a control deck with Glimwood Tangle (DAA 162).

I’ve been trying some mill in 2021 standard and the “flip until tails” mechanic doesn’t keep up pace with other options. Statistically, this mechanic averages out to 1, meaning you are only milling an average of 1 card per turn (not enough to win). You need to mill (60 start – 7 hand – 6 prizes – 6 turn draws) = 41 cards for the ideal mill deck, assuming a bad scenario where your opponent takes 1 prize per turn. In 6 turns, that’s 41/6 = 6.8 cards per turn. Your opponent will take more cards out of their deck, so the target is more like 5 cards per turn, which can only be met with Durant+Cursed Shovel (RCL 157) or Toxtricity (DAA 063). Lickilicky is less reliable, but fun with its disruption of both energy and a chance to yank the dreaded Marnie out of hand.
