nice mill deck but aren't you worried that it's too slow?

i tried including haunting echoes in my deck but after looking at the whole deck concept, i realized the deck was too slow and can be easily overruned(literrally) by aggro decks. wall of frost is also great but i suggest you try focusing on milling the guy as fast as possible and keeping yourself safe from aggro decks.i would suggest getting rid of brainbite and haunting echoes. why not put in memory erosion and make your mind funeral 4?also try to squeeze in maybe doomblade and into the roil to get rid of creatures that can really hurt you. and since into the roil targets non land permanents, you could get rid of a few planeswalkers and enchantments, even if its just for a turn. you could have something to deal with the permanent by that time....
try adding sunken ruins for your mana. also you might want to swap a couple of your swamps for islands instead. i'm polishing my own mill deck and the problem i see with this is that it's rather slow at first. maybe try adding some spells that would give you an extra draw like ponder, divination and spell snip(if you dont need to counter, you could cycle this for another card)boomerang is also a good card to help you slow down the pacing of your opponent(it especially helps to get rid of planeswalkers, i think) try checking out my deck for ideas....
i'm just curious. how are you gonna protect yourself from attacks and burns? i just feel that you might be too slow for aggro decks, and cryptic command would be available to you by your 4th turn(earliest possible you could cast it.)it's great that every card you would pull out would be mill cards but it just might be too late......
tnx for the suggestion. i was really thinking of adding wall of frost to this deck. i didn't realize boomerang wasn't type 2.it's been a long time since i played the game and i'm just beginning to get myself back into the groove. i just might add sanity grinding to this also in replacement to boomerang.by the way, i noticed that a lot of people suggest drowner initiate over cathartic adept. why is that?
try wall of frost.3 mana, 0/7 wall,with the ability to tap the creature till another turn
