Deck discussion for Mill [Modern]

I must admit that I really like some of your innovative picks in this deck.

overwhelming denial backed by surgical extraction may have some really powerfull potential.
telepathy and inquisition also seems like a nice setup.

Here's some suggestions:

Lantern of insight might be better than telepathy if you write down what your opponents draw, and you may exploit this a lot more than telepathy with hedron crab and fetchlands. (Plus, lantern is colorless)

I usually test a lot against stuff like infect, affinity and deat's zoo, and against these I use 3 ensnaring bridge and 4 sage of epityr.
Sage of epityr may allow you to put just the right cards on your top to gain an early edge with what you need at the early game, though the only cards I can see removed to make room for it is 4 ancestral vision or possibly 2 dismember. Visions may be the better draw-engine, but sage of epityr can be used as canon fodder/blocker.

You may also opt to replace the two dispel with 2 collective brutality. Brutality helps an early ensnaring bridge, stalls an attack and may let you translate a deadhand archive traps into 2 life. (Archive trap is often a dead card against pro's and hinders your bridge)

Jace is also vulnerable to attack, so getting the bridge or some blockers into play is essential to you if you want it to become a planeswalker, so you should really consider adding sage of epityr.

I think I made this before I really ever toyed with mill in this form much. If I were to go back and remake this, it'd probably look a lot like the current meta build for mill—there isn't a lot of room for improvement on those types of decks.

Recently there's been a surge in good mill cards.
I know most of them by heart and can give you a fast summation of what I find useful. I used to cover all mill decks constantly.

And nice to write with you again :)

Hi, well thought out deck. But..... drown in the loch is really, really, really good in this deck. So is scheming symmetry. Scheming symmetry allows you to only run one ensnaring bridge, and is literally a one mana tutor with no draw back, as after you cast it you can then mill your opponent, and their card will go to the graveyard. Drown in the loch is a instant speed counterspell or kill any creature for only two manna in this deck, as your opponent will have lots of cards in their graveyard. These two cards i believe would really make the deck tick.

Symmetry is also a forced search that triggers traps in your hand.
Theres also a land that does that now, and there's a blue spell costing 1u that also interacts with traps.

This deck is quite old (2016). There are many new cards that I don't have in here.

I know, I see my latest comment was 2016 and that you never answered...
But now you know some new mill cards.

The symmetry card is best I think, and fit an older deck I had with shriekhorn and noxious revival. And archive trap...
