Deck Description

Purely a mill deck! "Suffer the Past" adds a little bit of life drain, but really, the point of this card was to keep people from being able to play from their graveyards.

Plays fairly fast, in short games, "Jace's Phantasm" will end it.
If I have time to get "Nemesis of Reason" out, it's game over pretty fast.

Deck discussion for Defensive Mill

"Purely a mill deck" "Defensive" ?!? Something isn't right here...
If you realy want to mill your enemy to 'death' you need more possibilities to do so:

Instead "Wall of Frost" you could use "Hedron Crab". Put the Frostwall into your sideboard but I would look for a flying defender that I could use instead.
I would change "Nemesis of Reason" for "Consuming Aberration" and decrease it's number to 3. If you want to stay offensive think about 1 or 2 "Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker"
Also I would put "Suffer the Past" into the sideboard. Its to specific to be usefull in every match. (OK, I don't know your game partners, but in our local modern tournaments I haven't had use for much GY hate)
"Jace Beleren" is a good choice for a cc3 slot, I would nevertheless change to "Jace, Memory Adept"

"Mind Grind" -> "Glimpse the Unthinkable". Its more efficient, and in combination with "Jace's Phantasm" you could have 5/5 with flying in Turn 2
"Traumatize" comes to late without ramp to be of much use. As cc5 spell it comes in turn 5 (if you manage to play a land every turn), at that point there should be allready be a great mass of cards in your opponents graveyard.
"Sleep" -> Sideboard. It helps you to buy time, but when you really mill your enemy to death he normaly shouldn't have that many creatures out.

With some space in your deck take a look at these mill-spells:
Duskmantle Guildmage
Breaking // Entering
Dream Twist
Thought Scour
Mind Funeral
Nephalia Drownyard
Millstone
