I have to admit this isn't an original idea, I've been running another deck that works similarly for a while now:

This deck is the result of trying to find another way of doing what I'm already doing :p

The great Goat Overlord welcomes you to the fold. She's greatful to see a new follower of the Goat way. She does, however, wish to point out that there's little white mana permanents in this deck and thus Sprinjack Shepherd cannot reach his full potential. Lastly her Goatness requests that you look at the following deck in hopes that it can be of insperation:

As cool as Æther Flash is, I have 2 problems with it here. First is the fact that it's red, thus an odd colour (I really do like Illness in the Ranks one mana cost) and the other is it's not Modern legal. I generally build for either Standard or Modern, the 2 formats played most in my group.

I personally prefer Pyrohemia over Pestilance when wanting to use Stuffy because the red opens you up to all those pretty global burn spells :D

Selesnya Charm is still a good mainboard option. It can produce a creature at instant speed, exile an annoying fatty or just count as a pump spell that grants trample. All of which sound good for this deck :p

Bronzebeak Moa is quite a cool card, it won me a game in the prerelease :)
Kinda sucks that it can be chump blocked though :( So, I suggest more tample in the form of Rancor and / or Selesnya Charm in addition to Unflinching courage. And for more combat tricks, Cloudshift or Restoration Angel mite be a good fit.
Growing Ranks and Parallel Lives feel a little slow to me. They need time to be set up and then more time to actually do anything. Just last week I managed to beat an opponent relying on them because I killed all the tokens before Growing Ranks could do it's thing. Parallel Lives is still a pain though.

A friend plays a simila deck. He likes to put his ciphers on an animated Dimir Keyrune :)
This helps it survive mass kill like Supreme Verdict :p

Blacer's do work. Mana abilities are abilities that add mana

As you still cast the creature, even though it's for free, it'll count towards Storm effects.
Another use, that I'm working on in a deck, is to use Falkenherth Noble with the looping of Myr Retrievers :P

I kinda agree that the bracers seem a little useless with only 1 creature to get the bonus off of.

Cards like Ætherize and Killing Wave are nice for hordes of creatures. Ultimate Price, Unsummon and the like make good spot removal.

Then there's creatures like Wight of Precinct Six that can make the opponent consider how they attack (Wight should be big).

My bad. It's already banned. Secon Sunrise's banning starts today.
I'm quite sad that Seething Song is banned :'( Means I have to get creative with storm...

Just for fun, eh? I find a set of Kokusho, the Evening Star is more fun to Dragonstorm for than the Hellkites :p

There's two blue creatures you may want to consider using:
Grand Architect
Etherium Sculptor

I'm not sure mill is a good idea for EDH. You have ± 92 cards to mill through where a "normal" deck only has 53. That's double a normal mill and I have yet to see a mill deck outpace other deck types on a regular basis.

That said, I think you're brave to try mill in EDH.

PS
Who's your General?

Nice deck. Knights have always been a strong tribe, but why no Kinsbaile Cavalier ?
