Oboro is a legendary lamd you can return to your hand.
Basically free landfall triggers of you don't have a land to play that turn.

Honestly if this were true about killing them more times than not before you mill them you would see mill a lot more often.

Also 1-2 copies of oboro never hurts when playing crab.

If only scribe had 4 toughness.
Cards good and at least has an etb trigger to make it not useless.

Deck looks good overall, only complaint is having 0 interaction with what your opponent is doing.
Murderous cut, remand and even dismember would be more than enough.

Clearly with the cost of this deck you want it to be competitive, so why not have any interaction?

This is my list.
My meta has a lot of burn, infect and affinity(slightly less affinity lately)

My list has been heavily changed to suit my meta.
Running cut over dismember because i can't afford the loss of life most of the time.

I have ramped up to 3 funeral charms (2 in place of wrench mind, 1 in place of removal.
This card is honestly amazing.
Affinity and infect are overall our worst match ups, this simply kills most of the creatures in both those decks.
Instant speed discard and hell, pumps my rats or gives them swampwalk (not irrelevant with urborg)
Cards utility is great.

How do you find your matches?
Do you have trouble with some? It may be better to fill any gaps you may have rather than just spill a ton of info lol.

But i will explain my sideboard and why i have it as such.

4x leyline- My format is filled with birn and 2 other 8-rack decks. This card trumps them all single handedly.
They are also easily discarded to pact rat when multiples are drawn.

2x illness in the ranks- comes in vs tokens, any deck with thopter combo and storm.
First two are obvious, i bring it in vs storm because post board storm brings in warrens so i normally side out all my removal, and whatever i don't need like bridge and bring in 4x surgical 2x illness basically an auto win.

4x surgical- removal is a dead card vs storm or ad naus etc. So basically swap removal/bridge for the above.
Also bring 1-2 in cs abzan coco to stop the combo.

2x flaying tendrils- aggro decks, abzan coco etc. Just better than drown in sorrow and makes the coco match up much better.

2x spellskite- burn, boggles, infect etc. Not much to explain here.

1x chalice of the void.- only really for affinity when in the play. Kinda a flex spot honestly.

I am sorta a 8-rack guru and am not sire how much you have explored the deck.
Whats your meta like?
Do you have a budget?

I'm assuming its a build of the cards you own?
If not i have a few things to suggest.

Crab honestly isn't needed.
Run 3-4 bridge from below.
Also I run 1 gnaw to the bone main deck helps a ton for the more grindy games.
Loam is lack luster maindeck as the games normally aren't normally about the long game in the first game.

Not really... you still only have like 1/3 chance of not hitting a land on chance on each proc which is only slightly higher than before.
Servant just doesn't do enough.

You do know tutelage isn't grindstone... making all the cards blue does literal nothing.
The cards are just coloured lands and stop the milling any.

So servant is basically a dead card.

The odds of you getting an extra proc are still unlikely.

You would get more milage out of spellskite.
Plus if you don't land a tutelage you just lose the game

Like if you're going to do that you're better off having a nahiri package.
Like elesh norn, iona etc.
Just having emrakul is super pointless because he does literal nothing the turn he enters.
Say having him, and the two others above would add much better utility.
You could even splash black slightly or use nahiri to discard rites to reanimater iona or norn

Emrakul is a total pipedream.
Just put in something useful.

I love grand architect+pili-pala.
I use grand arch in a thopter foundry combo list with pili-pala and reshape.

Grand a goes infinite with thopter combo because the thopters are blue.
He also anthems them lol.

Then you just attack for a million or banefire for the same.

Fun deck you got here though.
You should run eternal witness. Grabbing it with company lets you get your company back for the next turn. Easy 4 of.

I agree the mana base is obviously iffy.
Nothing 4 flooded strands wouldn't fix.

Seachrome coast even works here because of the low cmcs.

It's cool i understand budget, if you can afford them path to exile is top tier removal and while pack is cute, seems like a pipe dream as you need your ramp creatures to survive.(not so much that it won't be cast off ramp creatures and 19 lands, just a bit unlikely.
I'm not saying remove it, because i literally can't think of a replacement option, but something may come up.

"Perimeter Captain" seems like a great sideboard card for burn/aggro decks though.
