Deck discussion for [Casual] Milling Trauma

Two milldecks recently went top 8 in modern.

Since there were two very different designs winning, I think the cards they shared in common should be a hint towards what actually works for mill...

Here's what the two winning designs got in common:
4 hedron crabs
4 archive trap
4 visions of beyond
4 glimpse the unthinkable
3 cards giving slight card advantage (either snapcaster mage or augur of bolas)
2 cards discarding important stuff (either thoughtseize or surgical extraction)

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll take them into account as I try to make another mill deck.

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...

The only problem I found was that the cards were somewhat expensive. I try to stay as budget as possible, so it might not be possible for me to use all (or most) of the suggested cards. But, I'll try anyways.

And as you suggested, I'll also go and see your decks :)
