Tumble Magnets are a beast on their own especially with Contagion engine. Devine offerings are pretty good to.

Get rid of Arid Mesa and put in Glacial Fortress or Sejiri Refuge instead.

Don't do that the crabs need the fetch lands to seriously speed up the milling process.
What I would suggest is a few Celestial colonade's in instead of some of your other non fetch lands. So at least you have some protection late game.

If you are milling you will need Nihil Spellbombs in the sideboard because a deck with a Legendary Eldrazi in it screws you right over.

You already have a decent enough anser to Caw-Blade in that you have condemn and into the roil for their hawks weilding swords. What you dont have is an answer to it's library manipulation using Jace and preordain. That is what usually puts it ahead in its matchups.
To combat that you will need Jace Beleren in your sideboard (or even mainboard, he nullifies their mind sculptor version and draws you cards)
Have you given thought to Jace's erasure?
It goes really well with Jace Beleren, into the roil (when you draw) and preordain.

It seems you have Trapmaker's Snare only to find your Archive trap. I would run Jace's Erasure in it's place. That guarantees a steady string of milling for your opponent.
Since you only have 2 targets for your treasure mages you could cut at least 1 maybe two. And judging by what you play against in FNM you could cut a Day of Judgment to the sideboard too. Replacing them with Tomb Scour instead. (I would play 3 Tomb Scour and 3 Jace's Erasure's)

You will need a big beater in case the game goes long and your opponents manage to drop a Titan or Baneslayer. Sphinx of Magosi is perfect as he is big when he enters but gets bigger and will draw you cards which in turn would help your Jace's Erasure's.

elixir is always nice to combat other mill decks or give you some cards back, plus five life and easy to play, tome scours are a must, five cards for 1 mana. theres more fetch lands u can play with ur crabs as well and guard gomzoa are great creature blockers, solemn offering is a goodcard to kill enchantments or artifacts, plus you gain 4 life, can help against both caw and the elf deck. traumatize is a good one, id prolly sideboard some of your archive trap/trapmakers, but against caw blade the trap combo would definitely be deadly, if he plays a hawk or uses stoneforge to search for the blade then u can mill them fast. might be a good way to stop them
