When playing with x-spells, you need to play more mana than your opponent or they will win by playing 1 spell at a time if it's a counterwar. More mana will also speed up the dragon. I usually use 22-24 mana. Or you can try to use stuff like ancient tomb to get ahead.

Well, try using the exact numbers that I listed above. These two decks are vastly different, so the mill they share in common must be what works within modern. Or at least, thats a theory to start with :)
This is my old prototype of mill-denial...http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/wdm-stranglemill-legacy/
No problem.
Well just found out preordain is banned in modern :(
Well, the aggro-version got 1st place.the other design has won 2 2nd and 2 4th places.
Well, deathrite shaman helps your mana, AND removes pesky stuff like emrakul or past in flames.
Don't fear the wand's price. Use it intelligently. Pay life 2-3 times during the early game where you want to lock them down as fast as possible. Then just use the wand to look at their top, and then use millstone/grindstone to remove stuff you don't want them to get. :D
Since it doesn't harm anyone to look at the designs I include them here. Perhaps you should go through my own page, as I have been through so many different mill-cards that you are bound to find something cheap and effective in there. heres the whole package... First design is a weird aggro-mill, but it won and I like it enough to promote it. http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/dafrk3ins-modern-mill/ The second deck is much more alike some designs of my own except for augur of bolas and visions of beyond. http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/azazel314s-modern-mill-2/ You can also click on my name and go through my own list of mill-designs from modern and legacy. Though there is much to read. At least it's chronological in nature :)

You've tagged it as modern legacy and vintage too, so you are a valid target for my attempt to make mill the most dominant decktype in all formats... Well it doesn't harm you to look at the designs.

Well don't... There's more, to the story. He won the first game because his deck was basically bolts & critters, I won the next through surprise value, and third game he also won despite him playing a jackal pup again, and me holding fire covenant in my hand :(
No chronic floodings, and no curse of the bloody tomes, both are very bad cards. Instead use some of the more heavy stuff...

use the above numbers as much as possible, but if you dislike visions of beyond for some reason try out preordain instead. You can also click on my name to see a wast collection of mill-designs for modern and legacy...
