Tickatus is not at all unfair. He's a strictly worse, more expensive, and conditional Glimpse the Unthinkable and he can't come down before turn 6. You should be killing a warlock by that point, because their life total getting pressured is how they lose.

Ehh...comparing hearthstone mill to magic mill doesn't really work.

Magic mill is awful, because games do not go to fatigue basically ever. (Basically because Magic has 60 card decks, and Hearthstone has 30 card decks. In Limited Magic with 40 card decks, mill is actually good, and 40 is still a lot more than 30). Also, lots of magic cards do things when in the graveyard so often you just end up helping your opponent.

By contrast, Hearthstone mill is pretty good, because quite a few control mirrors will actually go to fatigue. Also, Hearthstone you can only run 1 copy of legendaries (not 4 like magic) so sometimes milling a single card can make it impossible to pull off a combo. Like...Gnomesferatu was actually a decent card in Hearthstone because of getting players 1 card closer to fatigue. I can't imagine a magic-equivalent version of Gnomesferatu that would actually be constructed-worthy.
