Deck discussion for My First Control-Mill

I would say there might be a little too few lands... but it might be ok. I generally just go with 24 but if you think 20 is good then it might be.

However, you have two things you should definitely add. Archive Trap and Ravenous Trap are very good cards for all mill decks. Basically for 0 mana Archive Trap counters ramps and for 0 mana Ravenous trap counters the abilities of the powerful Eldrazi deck shuffling abilities.

Can you test the deck? in general I would but honestly if it plays well the way it is thats fine. Mana is not a hard rule, as much as i generally just go with 24, that number is actually adjustable depending on the deck... and i am not an expert with how much mana to add into a deck... sorry can't be much help

I've play-tested it a few times and it's only running right when going against infect decks...

a friends W/G infect deck that uses the Livewire lash combo and i also tested it against my R/G Aggro deck that is on here. It's weak against Eldrazi simply because of the Emrakul and Annilator...i mean, a turn 2 Hand of Emrakul is not the best thing to see...
