This is an optimization of my previous midrange mill deck that tried to extend the game with control and creatures like Fog Bank, Royal Assasin and Avatar of Woe. It was a nice deck, but against today's modern meta is just too slow.
Optimizations:
Mind Funeral - The deck's staple. At worst you milled 4 lands, at best you milled half the library or more. Land a few crabs (pun intended) and this could be a finisher.
Hedron crab / Ruin crab - Your personal squad of mind magic amplifier crustaceans, along with their big momma, the Consuming Aberration.
Glimpse the Unthinkable - The best cost effective mill your mana can afford. If your mana is not optimized, try Mind Scuplt.
Fraying Sanity - A bit slow, but there's nothing better than repeating that same mill after a good mill. Pull this on turn 3 and mill 20 cards with a 2 mana Glimpse the Unthinkable on turn 4. Sphinx's Tutelage is another option, or you can outright remove it and use the 2 slots for something else.
Visions of Beyond - It can give you those 3 draws pretty early after a good mill. Gotta keep those cards rolling! Cling to dust is another good option that can provide additional Life Gain (but you need to cast it from graveyard for 3B :^/). There's also the combination of Thought Scour and Pilfered Plans
Drown in the loch - The best, great versatility and power. Can be replaced/combined with Fatal Push / Go for the throat in case you find graveyard hate or you're not running fetch/shock lands.
Counterspell - Run this only if you've optimized mana curve by using fetch/shock lands. Use Mana Leak otherwise.
Profane Memento - This is a beast when you have the crabs out or you land a juicy Mind Funeral. If you're facing a burn, control or combo heavy meta, you can remove this and add more counters.
Nighthawk Scavenger - Life gain, nasty deathtouch, flies, can hit hard after landing a Mind Funeral or a Glimpse the Unthinkable. This guy is prepared!
Surgical Extraction - Extremely good synergy with mill. An amazing card with amazing art.
Now for the remaining 11 cards you can choose from many options:
Aetherize - For a token heavy meta
Damnation
Infest
Baleful Mastery
Fatal Push
Hero's Downfall
Go for the throat
Thoughtseize - If money is an issue you have Distress and Duress
Inquisition of Kozilek
Grief
Cling to dust - Provides decent versatility with Life Gain and/or Card Draw. It has to be casted from graveyard with a hefty cost though
Crypt Incursion - In case you need (even) more Life Gain
Tormod's Crypt
Grafdigger's Cage
