Hey man, solid idea. I'm also getting started with MTG but I've played a couple card games like it before and one mistake I think you're making is spreading yourself too thin. You have only one copy of each card in here, meaning your deck is going to play differently every time you play it. You want some level of consistency, some plan of attack to aim for to try and focus your deck down with. Here you have a clear method, which is milling your graveyard. However, you have way too many things going on for it to be a reliable mechanic.

I think you would do well to focus on utilizing Mind Funeral, Gravepurge, and Grimoire of the Dead. Have at least 2-3 copies of these. Liliana will also help you here, so leave her in. Similarly with your creatures, narrow your focus down with multiple Dutiful Attendant s since it will help you keep you board full while you are milling your deck.

Good luck!

This looks really solid! Wanted to make a pure cycling deck like this myself but only just started so I don't have all the cards I'd need.

It seems like your mana curve is a bit high for the land you're running.. Do you feel like that's balanced because of how much cycling you'll be doing?

My friends and I started playing Magic casually about a month ago. We bought one Ixalan Deck Builder and then an Amonkhet bundle. I think this deck has the most potential of the ones I've made so far. Bearing in mind this deck isn't fully optimized (I'm only running one of some cards which should probably be more), any feedback for a novice deck builder?
