Deck discussion for Return from Graveyard

The best millcard out there is mind funeral, which mills an average 14 cards depending on what you meet. (Mainly decks with 22 lands. the less they play, the harder you hit, and most play 18 lands and fetches, helping you to hit very hard)

Your first traumatize will hit at turn 5 where most opponent's will have drawn a total of 12 cards, meaning that they have 48 cards in their library, so you mill 24 cards.

If we imagine a game where you have 4 of each played in a row, the traumatize mills 24, then 12, then 5, and then 2 for a total of 43.
Mind funeral gets to an average of 14, 14, 14 and 14 equalling 56 cards milled.
However since the mind funeral calculation has not yet included draws it potentially mills 68 cards...

Mind funeral also hits earlier, and may be played at turn 3, 4, 5, and you can play two at turn 6 if you got the mana.

This makes mind funeral the better card in many ways.
Also it's a fact that plenty of decks has gotten top8 with mind funeral in them while no deck with traumatize has ever gotten top 8 as far as I know, and I frequently haunt top-pages for mill.

You also need more lands.
I usually play 22 lands with a deck with lots of cards costing 3.
It can also support 4 and 5 cost cards, but you need a hell of a lot more removal to survive long enough to get that many lands with 22 lands, so I recommend you up your land count.
