Deck discussion for Turtle Shell (Suggestions)

I don't really see how this deck stops them from drawing a card. Also, this deck seems to be all over the place. You are looking to mill, using doorkeeper's ability, right?

I'd first simplify the deck- choose multiples of cards you really want and forget the rest. You have a decent amount of cards to slow them down, but not to stop them. Instead of spells that minimize their attack, kill the creatures altogether (add in more doom blade or other insta-kills). To further control, add in a few discard cards, like Wrench Mind or creatures with discard abilities like ravenous rats. You then have them crippled enough to dig at their library using doorkeeper, mind sculpt, and breaking/entering.

Relying on the defender creatures to beef up doorkeeper's ability is huge, as well. Add as many defender creatures as you can, but try to put in ones that have abilities to control the game (Wall of frost comes to mind).

Good luck tweaking! It will be fun when ready.

Thanks a bunch. Thankfully I have most of the cards you mentioned, and I'm sure my local card shop has them for cheap, too, so I can get extras. Love you.
