Notes: This is a Tempest-only control deck designed to grind your opponent's library away. Creature control is achieved through Humility, Orim's Prayer, and Winds of Rath, plus spot creature control through pacifism and repentance. Countermagic keeps the opponent from killing your grindstones. There are three Scroll Racks in the deck to help you get your control cards faster, and a neat combo is to put 2 land cards on top your library after using the scroll rack, and then mill them away with the grindstone, getting you past 2 land (or other less useful cards) and closer to drawing more good stuff. The deck is solid, since there are no disks, armageddons or shatterstorms in Tempest. One card to watch our for is lobotomy, since a single Lobotomy could theoretically get 3 out of the 4 kill cards in the deck (3 grindstones plus one thumbscrews). But since the grindstone is so cheap to cast it should be on the board before a lobotomy can be cast against you. The sideboard is geared mainly for other control decks since this deck should have enough creature control standard. Grind, grind, grind away.
