Deck discussion for Draw to Mill

Haunting Echoes + Traumatize will destroy most decks. Crypt Incursion for massive healing. Also I personally dislike Traumatize, it is amazing if you can play it 5th turn or before, but if you get it 20th its a 5 drop that will mill equal to a 2 drop. The crab is amazing, I run 4. You seem to have an amazing set up for a draw deck. If you look at Jace's Erasure as your core card (mechanic designed around,) then make everything about that card. With all 4 out its 4 cards off the top per card you draw. Amazing. I think that if you modified the deck to have more control/death remove most mill cards and make it about draw this could be an amazing deck. How I would do it, drop creatures down to a minimum. Crab, fog banks, archivists, and add a few Circu. Either elixer of immortality or psychic spiral to keep you from milling yourself out. Then draw draw draw, counter and kill everything you can. Let circu do his thing and control what they can play. Just a few ideas I have come across while building my mill deck. I will post it as soon as I finalize it. I am in the process of rebuilding for modern format.

This is probably the most thorough advice I've ever been given on a posted deck. Thank you. It's modified now, let me know what you think.

It looks a lot better. At this point just play it against as many decks as you can. The stronger your opponents deck the more information you will get on how to mod it. Only thing I can see would be the nemesis and ashoik they are both amazing but a little unnecessary. Nemesis will die and ashiok isn't as good as a jace. If library of leng is in there to do the same thing as reliquary tower I would just use the land instead.

Yeah, I know...The library is there as a cheap alternative to the land, while adding the benefit of choosing what from my hand is discarded and what's put onto my library when I pull Jace's Archivist.

As for the others, Ashiok's there because it's the card this deck was (originally) inspired by, and Nemesis is there because...frankly, I already bought him and he was a spendy one.

I didn't see the combo between library. Nice. Nemesis is amazing and a game ender so by all means run him. Ashiok is really cool, have you thought about nightveil specter to go along with it? You already have circu to exile and haunting echos.
