Modern [MODERN] Ruby Storm or Dimir Mill?

Have enough resources on mtgo to build one, but havent been able to play the format regularly for about 5ish years. Any tips on which deck to build to grind mtgo leagues and why would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Storm is tier 1, mill is tier 5 i don't really think there is a choice here. I'm saying this with tears in my eyes since i was a mill player, but it's not really playable right now

Storm is way better

You should almost always pick the deck with the higher representation at large scale events because you’ll have a lot more data to use. Storm is the easiest pick of all time when compared to something as uncompetitive as mill

Storm is definitely the safer bet for grinding leagues, I had a Dimir Mill deck early on MTGO and it felt so frustrating when matches dragged on forever with no payoff.

if it's for leagues lowkey you should just play the thing you want, storm is a lot better though

Like most people have already said Ruby Storm is the better deck.  In terms of win rates in the last 8 weeks Ruby Storm is a little under 50% but has decent MUs against decks getting more popular like Esper Blink and Devoted Druid.  Mill on the other hand shows as 38% vs the field only doing good against Goryos and Affinity.
