Deck discussion for mill modern

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)

thanks for the info! I tried to find the decks in the top8 but was unable to, do you have a link?

out the above cards that you suggested I went with what i had in my card pool.
2 archive trap - sideboard
1 visions of beyond - sideboard
1 surgical extraction - sideboard
2 horrifying revelations - I felt this as a good option for discard and a bonus mill.

Here are both:
I copyed them directly from the decklists in mtgtop8.com and if you want to doublecheck they are listed as "other combo"
The most used design is azazel's which looks like some of my own designs except for 12 cards.

Horrifying revelations let your opponent pick what they discard, which is always a bad idea :( They'd start with stuff like bloodghast, vengevine or iona...

thanks for the links, I can see why both decks made it into the top8!

So I made some minor changes to the deck. firstly! I swapped out 3 x wight of presinct six (these cards are rendered useless for this build) for 2 x hedron crabs. and kept the creature count at 16 rather then 17. Included 2 x crypt incursion to sideboard HR ( still like this card but might change to a duress or mind rot). Added 1 x mindbreak trap and an extra mind funeral.

For the lands I removed 2 x Dimier gulds gates ( i peronally think GG lands are over rated) and vivid lands, added 4 crack lands and dropped the land to 22 from 23.

And for the sideboard I removed 2 cancel, 2 far and away and added 2 echoing thruth and HR( your fav!).

I guess i'll find out this weekend if it's tournie ready!
