Well, "milling" is the most common way to "deck" an opponent. My preferred method is Palinchron +High Tide to generate infinite mana and hit my opponent with an arbitrarily large Stroke of Genius or Braingeyser .
Prior to onslaught block correct? I mean i've heard of this awesome mill card called brain freeze and only way to counter storm is through stifle or some other card with a similar effect
My. Preferred. Method.
I despise Storm. Storm decks ignore the opponent for 3 or 4 turns, then win. It isn't even a game at that point.

i had a brain freeze deck back during that time that went off on turn 6 usually. Cowardice + ornithopter + lightning greaves + brain freeze or minds desire into brain freeze is what won me games. Unfortunately the meta that that time was turn 2-3 you lose due to affinity so it never got to be more than a casual deck.
You are both rational and emotional. You value creation and discovery, and feel strongly about what I create. At best, you're innovative and intuitive. At worst, you're scattered and unpredictable.
Bloodchief Ascension has never been relevant, by the way.
The only mill deck I know of that has had positive results is Turbo-Fog, around TSP-LOR, afaik. It's a deck that players a bajillion of Howling Mine effects and then obsoletes the combat step by preventing the combat damage with Fog effects. It requires a somewhat aggressive meta game though, if your opponent lands a Planeswalker you might be wrecked, unless you have prepared to interact with it. I don't think it works very well against Burn either.
That is if we ignore infinite mana engines coupled with Draw Spells, ProsBloom also won by forcing your opponent to draw from an empty library.

No, Pros Bloom won by drawing a bunch of cards, pitching them for black mana, and sticking a straw in the opponent . Given how much card drawing and deck thinning a ProsBloom deck does, using Prosperity to deck the opponent would end in a draw (i.e., tie) game.

Attacking the darkness since 1987, turning creatures sideways since 1994.
I'm not sure if Dimir on a Stick ever happned in Legacy.
The only mill deck I have had much success with came during Timespiral-Lorwyn with Drowner of Secrets . It had success at FNM events but it was pretty high risk reward, because Damnation could really wreck it. Fun times though, fun times. It also could sideboard itself into a full on Fish deck with 4*Reejerey and 4*Lord of Atlantis
"I think me going Bang bang bang I win is pretty intuitive"

Well, Storm decks pack a punch but nothing says die storm like a stifle. I hated playing against aluren too though but loved playing it, probably the best enchantment ever right there
