Can anyone explain how the Valeera + Shadowblade combo works? I play mill but just don't see it. I mean you can only attack once per turn, right?
The Shadowblade battlecry makes you immune. So you wait till both you and the other guy are almost out of cards. Then you play the shadowblade and the coldlights, you both run out of cards, but since you're immune you don't take any damage, unlike the other guy.
I have tried Alexstrasza in mill in the past, and the main problem is her cost: if you draw her early, she's a dead card, and in lategame your hand is already overcrowded AND your opponent compels you to take action to defend yourself from critical damage - Alex helps in neither while occupying the whole turn.
She is useful sometimes, but as a heal she's often insufficient, and as an offensive tool she makes you terribly vulnerable unless you're already ahead.
I actually like this new mill rogue. I think it will be tier 1 this season and in comparison to all of the other tier 1 (and tier S lol) decks, it looks fun. I'm thinking of crafting it.

Ah OK. Never had to pull this one, but in fringe situations it could be useful. :)

I was dubitative too about her, then I tried her in the current meta and I am not looking back. I most situations if I draw her she will be useful.
I use her both aggressively and as heal. Most of my win against aggro deck involved her in one way or another. Run them out of ressources, vanish/clear a board, then play her aggressively and try to close the game. Getting her From shadow caster 1 mana is really nice to.

Couldn't agree more, she looks incredibly useful but Mill is not really reliant on heavy late game cards. She isn't the healing option you want, much better to run an Earthern Ring Farseer
Alexstrasza, interesting! I guess it's useful against tons of stacked armor or 40 HP priests.

That's ok, i expect it to rise a bit after the nerfs.
Here's my version of Mill Rogue! It's pretty defensive, but i've had a lot of success with it :)
Mill is my favorite type of deck.
Enjoy
Lemme just topdeck that real quick.
