I'd agree with CHEWRIDA on the hedron crab. If it's unmolested it mills a hell of a lot of cards by it's own. I've tested it's range within 5 turns, and without fetch it mills an average of 8.5 cards if left alone. By the way, you wrote somewhere about a milling deck I should comment on! I planned to click on your name to find it, but I only see this deck? Could you do me a favor and link it again, or perhaps constuct it in mtgvaults?

SOULOFMIRRODIN: 9 creatures is not creatureheavy :) (I'm not counting the walls though) MAUMAU: I'll understand the attraction of producing zombies will conflict with the leyline! But if you play modern, consider at least how many decks it locks down: token, elfcombo, splintertwin, eggs (second sunrise will cry) dredgelike stuff and in general beatdown will be slowed a little.
2HP10: You'd be surprised how far I've come with my legacy-variant. I'm constantly on the edge of getting more than 2 wins each tournament, despite of my meta being overflowed with sneakattack, and I have a large list of defeated decktypes in legacy, and since I write everything down at the tournaments I can change my deck pretty fast to follow any changes in the meta. But you've seen my millingdecks, so you know the details I put into it :)
I noticed that your deck isn't legal in standard, so it has to be either modern or legacy that you are aiming for. In modern leyline of singularity locks down a hell of a lot of decks. (I'm compiling a list) It's evil against tokendecks, elfcombo, splintertwin, makes second sunrise really bad in eggs, and stop dredgelike decks from getting the creatures you mill into play. Plus it generally stalls beatdown. And since you don't play 4 of everything it actually fits your deck. If you are more into legacy I can tell you what it can work against there too :)
I don't follow trends, I make them! A bit late to join this thread, but heres the usual copy paste that fits in a mill-talk! In legacy and modern you can use leyline of singularity to stall most creature-decks. Use karakas too in legacy to stall them even more :D Some of the players who enjoy creatures in mill, might want to try out dreamborn muse. Leyline and muse will make them insane!!!
Get rid of howling mine, as your opponent ends up getting cardadvantage from it. For protection against creatures, use leyline of singularity and karakas. Dreamborn muse and leyline may be fun too.

Multiplayer with mesmeric orb and dreamborn muse? That's just WICKED! And that's why lil wickeddarkman is going to tell you about leyline of singularity and karakas. Leyline and the karakas will be an unsummon-spell each turn that can't be countered. BUT WAIT! Theres more! Leyline of singularity makes everything legendary, so your opponents wont dare to put anything into play that they already have, which means??? That dreamborn muse will become absolutelly insane. Enjoy your next games. BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAA!!!!!

Get rid of howling mine, the moon kami and font of mythos, they give your opponent too much cardadvantage. Instead you should use some of the heaviest milling cards out there (mind funeral, archive trap, glimpse the unthinkable or mesmeric orb) Put horn of greed in your sideboard. Then when you mill your opponent, take notice if you are the one playing with most lands, if you are, get the horn in main. If you play against beatdown in your area, consider leyline of singularity with karakas.
Depends on the format! In legacy and modern you can probably get leyline of singularity for a small fee, but you should hurry, because I'm telling everyone how good it is in mill, and in legacy it works well with karakas too. Get them before the others get these cards :)
You might consider using leyline of singularity and karakas.
Ha ha, I really love people who has the ambition to play mill in multi-player. Mesmeric orb will allow you to mill everybody without casting too many spells or waste a lot of mana. Depending on the type of multiplayer you participate in, this can kill people of before they even touch you :D I also suggest leyline of the singularity to slow down everyone elses beatdown, and if you play with karakas as well you have the means to "unsummon" a creature every turn without any chance of it being counterspelled!
CBCHAC: When you look at a deck, you can always see if it's legal at the right side of your sideboard. If you want this to work in modern, try out leyline of singularity! If you go for legacy try the leyline and karakas!
Looks like either modern or legacy! If it's modern you might find leyline of singularity to be very usefull. If it's legacy try out both the leyline AND karakas.
In legacy you can use leyline of singularity to stall most creature-decks. Use karakas with it to stall them even more :D
Also, if you want to play legacy sometime, use the leyline with karakas to have an uncounterable unsummon each turn.
I got 29th out of 85 with an almost creatureless legacy mill! I fixed my mana with just 14 islands, 2 river of tears and 8 swamps, so perhaps you can cut some of your special-lands?
For a fast mill, take a look at my modern and legacy mill! Get rid of the bloody cursed tome, and replace it with 4 mesmeric orb. Don't be afraid of it, you die at turn 7 if you get all orbs in play, while playing 6 lands and tapping out all of your lands during all of your turns. Plus you mill opponents faster than you die.
