Deck discussion for Caw-Mill

This is a rebuild of my extended mill deck to meet standard format. I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Here is a brief overview of how things should work (as i see it):
The Main deck is pretty basic caw-blade, it has added protection from most colors when equipped. The Sword of Vengeance is mainly there to add trample, ensuring at least 1 point of damage hits the opponent, activating the Sword of Body and Mind/Feast and Famine. Creeping Tar Pit/Dread Statuary help the mana curve while providing you a creature in in times of need. Trying to get Metalcraft is nice, but not necessary. The sideboarded Memoricide/Leyline of the Void provides a little support for those cards that do not hit the graveyard well (Emrakul being one that has caused me issues in the past). Haunting Echoes helps against burn decks, after they have fired off a few spells or you have milled them a time or two. Mirran Crusader is a replacement for the Phyrexian Crusader if the opposing color alignment is giving you issues and Trapmaker's snare is there because I like it to grab an Archive Trap against excessive fetch lands. I chose not to include Traumatize in this deck because of the high mana cost. Really, the most expensive card could be 3, as the Archive Traps can be played for free. While the point of the deck it not to infect to death, it seems this can happen by accident while using the Phyrexian Crusader. I had entertained the idea of using Trespassing Souleater and Blighted Agent, but the local area seems to run a lot of red/white and the Sword of War and Peace just doesn't seem to fit the deck quite right. Check out my extended mill deck if you are curious what this deck used to be and how is became what it is now.

Removed Dread Statuary to help fix white mana issue. Dropped 2 Leylines because of double black, went with all Memoricides. Attempted to fix the whole lack of white mana with more dual lands. Considering dropping Puresteels, not quite sure for what yet, but possible plains. I would add Marsh Flats over Evolving Wilds, but I don't have them and I don't plan on purchasing/trading them. Also thinking of dropping Creeping Tar Pits, but I'm a tad afraid of what that is going to leave me for black mana.

I like it, but I'm sorry to say that those Stoneforge Mystics need to go if you still want to play that in standard :P
