It looks to me like you're trying to do too much here. You're trying to tap all your opponents creatures, Have a creature to attack and equip with, and mill with spells at the same time. With mill decks, it's a good idea to focus on one method of mill, and build the deck around it.
If you wanna go the Trepanation Blade route, I'd drop any other mill, add 4 copies of that, and then add some more creatures, and enchantments/instants to make them unblockable or indestructable. (going that route is likely to kill them from combat damage before it mills them however)
If you wanna go the tap mill, get 4 copies of Startled Awake, and then put in as many tap spells as you can ((That looks like an interesting deck... I may build that... I'll get back to you on that)) so that Startled Returns to your hand often.
Good Luck! and hope this helps some.

p.s. Too much draw in a mill deck is NOT a bad thing. (well, maybe too much is) But in this deck, you don't have enough. (You have 2 cards that let you draw 1 card a piece.) You are going to be top-decking very, very quickly. (that wont win you any games.)

I thought really hard what to put in the sideboard so that this deck would be improved more, even if it is trying to do many things at the same time. I hope that the sideboard supports the main deck well enough to make it work properly, I haven't tested the sideboard yet ( so it may change if it fails to work). I'm also thinking two other deck ideas around Trepanation Blade.

Maybe I should change Nagging Thoughts with Heed the Mists, but then I have to add cards with scry to make Heed the Mists work. Or change Vessel of Paramnesia with Mystic Retrieval so that it would get the Startled Awake from grave back to my hand.

I hate fine tuning decks because then you get more ideas which multiply and (go out of control) then you see that the final deck didn't come out like it should have and you are back to square one. Oh well better get back to thinking more improvement ideas for this deck and hopefully when its finally ''perfect'' it is so good that there is no need for sideboard (doubting that will ever happen).
