From my experience with my mill deck:

-you need more creatures, it's all very well and good milling an opponent, but when it comes to waiting for that next good mill card, you will very quickly become open to attack. Look up guiltfeeder, it's e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y good for a mill deck and also has a decent defence.

-Seriously contemplate adding either traumatize or keening stone. These are two of the best mill cards I know.

-Consider swapping Drowned catacomb for Jwar Isle Refuge, it's the same thing except Jwar gives you +1 life.

good luck and take a look at my mill deck if you need further ideas. :)

I like all but traumatize no offense but its a waste of paper tomb scour does better on avg here's my reasoning,

At 5 mana you play 5th turn at best a lil faster here cus of the landfall but if I have hedron crab out first turn ill have allready milled at least 20 cards by 3rd turn not to mention you drew 7 and 3 for turns your down to 30 traumatize will mill 15 cards at that point while for the same mana a twin casted mindfuneral going against a deck running the typical 2 to 1 land ration ill mill 32 cards GG by 4th turn, the problem is getting the hedron crab out first or 2nd turn.

Nice deck I like the Khalni Heart Expedition and Cryptoplasm and Twincast with Mind Funeral in the deck. In my Mill Deck I run the Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds option with the Hedron Crab.... 2 lands played in the one turn which is always good for six cards. Another I use for fun is the Memory Erosion so when your opponent plays a spell they mill two cards.

If your willing to pay the cash then the best option to getting Hedron Crab early is the Tutors like Worldly Tutor, Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor....Otherwise the less impressive options are Beseech the Queen and Diabolic Tutor.

Yah I was thinking of worldly tutor but I don't have the cash at the moment I was hoping to find a cheaper option
