And it's hard to counter if in your oppening hand :D
It can be used in several ways, some very elaborate, with weird 1off's critterdecks, or different shapeshifters to copy a creature (Wont work after m14) Someone used birthingpod and stuff. I've seen a UB-hunted-singularity deck somewhere!

Before second sunrise was banned, it was also an answer to eggs.

To enforce the chance of being able to draw when you have an empty library, use gitaxian probe and streetwraith, which will also thin out the deck.

You might also consider using mesmeric orb, which could mill yourself for a lot if played for a tapout.

And consider pact of negation for when you play the maniac!!!

AWWW!

With that mainboard, you should be playing leyline of singularity!

Add oboro, palace in the clouds, tip gotten from SOULOFMIRRODIN.

Wall of blood may serve as a boost to this theme.
Use mind funeral instead of mind grind. Funeral mills 13-14 cards on average against 22 land opponents.

If you want to try to make the deck more "lockdown-ish" try out lurking informer with wand of denial. Initially use the wand and your life, then, when you got the informer in play, use the wand to look and mill with the informer. Mill-control...

Muddle the mixture might help you get to your paranoid delusions!

How do you rate the cipher effect when it begins to roll? And how hard is it to set up? What formats do you mill in?

Have you considered memory sluice with cloud of faeries?

Oboro, palace in the clouds (Trick learned from SOULOFMIRRODIN) works well with hedron crabs.

For selfmill there's allways mesmeric orb :D
But you need to rethink how to activate your draw! Stuff like gitaxian probe or streetwraith might be a nice added theme, and will thin the deck into being faster. Also consider pact of neagtion...

Ach!!! Make it so...
Or maybe I'll think something up.
U seen my statements on putting mesmeric orb in creature+mill? (Use the sewer nemesis by targetting yourself, then just play critters, tap lands and attack, attack attack!)

If this is a thematic deck, maybe fertilid could fit in! It does "mill" them for 2, and is the only creature in magic forcing an opponent to search their library, making it fun with archive trap!

Nope, :D, the less lands, the more it mills. Very cool against charbelcher and "look ma, no lands"/balustrade combo ;)

Add shelldock island for the primordial.

If you keep on playing with the chancellor, you should consider supporting it with surgical extraction. Both in an oppeninghand can be crippling for the opponent.

SOULOFMIRRODIN:
The average on mind funeral is based on opponents number of lands. Against those with 22 lands I have it at 13-14 cards milled!

Upgrade your deck and answer when people talk to you son!

Wow, is this a timewalk or not?

Erm, if you ever get tired of maralen, try out fertilid, the only magiccard with an activation that forces your opponent to search...

I've been discusing mesmeric orb in creature-decks in the past, and most say it's not doable, but I have thought of a small twist with it.
If you have the mesmeric orb in play, you have several ways of exploiting it:

1: Target yourself with sewer nemesis, and "move" by playing stuff and constantly attacking.
2: play a carefull game, only attacking with 1 large critter, preferably jace's phantasm.
3: Play a real waiting game, just play hedron crab and from then on play as many lands as possible and as few creatures as you can live with.
4: It can really support avatar of woe.
