Well, if you could take a look at my self-mill deck, that would be nice. ^^ I created it quite a while ago and kept tweaking it, but I'm not sure about the spells I use to back the deck, and I don't know what to do with the sideboard. (Of course, any other comments and suggestions can be helpful.)

With the changes you've made, I guess your curve makes more sense so you just might be able to make it with 19 lands. The best is just to test it and see if you can usually get your threats on the battlefield early enough in the game. If not, add some more mana in there.
Did you only use M13? I'd recommend you take a look at some of Innistrad's soldiers and get some more one or two mana creatures. If you take a look, right now, the best you can do is attack with a 2/1 flyer on turn three, plus a 2/2 or 3/3 on turn 4. You need some creatures to come into play earlier, even if only to make your falcon attack while it can. Champion of the parish is perfect for that, or Doomed traveler if you need something easier to get your hands on. In order to add this, I think you could take out the elixirs and maybe one or two Safe Passage (which is almost useless once you have Odric, in my opinion). Also, you usually want to have 20 to 24 lands in your deck, otherwise you'll often be short. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the input. I made a couple changes considering this (I have to admit I usually have something else to do with 4 mana for two turns than play and equip the spear.) I want to try the Stuffy Dolls a little more before taking them out, though. They make pretty impressive blockers against the big threats of RG...
The only thing I'm wondering here is this: why the sublime archangel and Odric in the same deck? Odric does not like exalted creatures. If you remove Odric, I think it could work, and you could add the newest Ajani in his place. Otherwise, if you want to keep Odric and remove the angel, I'd like to know why exactly you wanted it so maybe I can recommand something nice to replace it more effectively. Maybe a Geist-honored Monk if you want a bigger creature? I'm not too sure. I'd appreciate if you can also take a look at my attempt at making Odric work in standard and give me a couple comments. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=363956 Thanks!
This deck looks pretty nice. I never thoought about Mindshrieker, but it's an interesting idea. I think the laboratory manic is kinda out of place, though. Especially with just one, it will end up in your graveyard most of the time. You should be able to keep enough control on your deck not to empty your library. Maybe you could just put it in your sideboard in case you play against a mill deck? If you have any time, I'd appreciate if you could comment on my deck too: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=326917
