One way to claim victory in Pick a Hand, Any Hand is through a mill deck. In Hearthstone, this term means making your opponent draw lots of cards. The goal is to draw out their entire deck and get them into the fatigue state. Whenever a player reaches fatigue, they lose an increasing amount of health whenever they try to draw another card.

As an example, a viable Pick a Hand, Any Hand deck is Mill Druid. The seven cards in this variation of the deck include two Biology Project spells, one Jade Idol, two Naturalize spells, one Galvanizer, and one Steamcleaner minion.

The key card here is Steamcleaner. This minion destroys all cards in everyone's decks that didn't start there. Therefore, playing this card destroys all of the free Unstable Portal spells in both players' decks.

You can play Steamcleaner earlier in the game by making use of the Biology Project spells and, if available, the Coin or Galvanizer. If your opponent has a sticky minion on the board that you need to get rid of, then Naturalize is your friend.

After you clear out your opponent's deck and your own, you can start using the Jade Idol spell. This card always gives you two options. You can either summon a Jade Golem or shuffle three copies of the spell into your deck.

In this example's variation of Mill Druid, make sure to choose the latter option when you first play Jade Idol because you only have one copy of it to start.

The more Jade Golems you summon, the stronger they will become. That board presence and pressure to face is a lot to deal with since your opponent can only depend on the cards they began with and random spells or minions that they may have gained throughout the match.
