Deck discussion for Fast Mill? What's That?

Hi there. I am a big fan of mill decks, however its very hard to put together a fast and competitive mill deck. Having said that I quite like this deck its and its a nice build. I do have a few suggestions that you can consider that may make it faster.

1st you need to get this to 60 I know it can be hard to cut and that you will be drawing a lot of cards but your deck will be better if you keep it to 60.
I would cut Traumatize. It is one of those cards that can be powerful but it is inconsistent. It by itself can not win you the game, it has a high casting cost and it becomes weaker the longer the game continues and the more times you cast it.
Brainstorm is a better option than Psychic Drain. It goes well with Jace's erasure and it can be imprinted onto Isochron Scepter.
Szadek is too slow IMO. Maybe something like Jace's Archivist would be a better choice. It can be devastating with Erasures and Howling Mine in play.
When I think of milling fast I always liked Hedron Crab. Throw in a few Polluted Delta to help your mana base and you can trigger 6 mill in one turn without casting a spell. You will likely be drawing enough lands to play one most turns and keep the mill going.
The last thing you may want to consider is that Isochron counts as casting so it doesn't get around the 1 spell limit of Arcane Laboratory. That isn't that big of a deal if if you have cards that you can trigger mill without casting like a Archivist and Hedron Crab.

Either way nice deck, good luck with it
