With the high number of defenders I would use "Doorkeeper" as second mill-option and remove "Traumatize" instead. The problem with "Midnight Guard" is that you need 3 (4 if you want an endless interaction with "Ornithopter") components for your plan to work. And the Guard is highly risky to play simply because you have to protect him one turn and he can (and will) be hit by any removal your opponent has left. Basically I would cut some defenders to add control and carddraw spells. Another way would be to splash green to get access to defenders like "Axebane Guardian" or "Overgrown Battlement" and use spells like "Increasing Confusion" with 'pay {x}' effects. This would also enable you to use "Assault Formation" as backup-plan. One of my all-time favourites as defender is "Order of the Stars". Cheap mana-costs and flexible protection makes this card a real winner. "Kaijin of the Vanishing Touch" is another good defender that makes things for your opponent a little more complicated.

Thanks for the advice!
I'm currently trying to find a deck which could use authority of the counsil and mesmeric orb together to seriously stall/mill an opponent, and your deck seems to fit that theme due to peremiter captain and fog bank as well as the general theme...http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/mesmericauthority-mill/your midnight guard could also need to be enchanted with evanescent intellect, though that migh also need spellskite to protect midnight guard.Also get 9 fetchlands for the hedron crab. Most milldecks that have gotten top 8 had 9 fetchlands in common.
