Love the deck theme idea! Just want to say you have it listed that you have two copies of Selective Snare.

I'm going to say right off the bat that Meteorite, Diabolic Tutor, Bridge from Below, Laboratory Maniac don't belong in your deck because they are just bad cards. Although Laboratory Maniac is a fun alternative win condition, your deck simply doesn't have the mill power to achieve this and even if you did you have a greater chance of milling that him; because he's odd cost you can't use your commander to bring him back.

I am confused as to why you're discarding for graveyard strength when the only thing that benefits from having things in your graveyard is Apocalypse Demon. I want to point out that your commander Gyruda, Doom of Depths ability can only return a creature card of even mana cost from the four cards that everyone milled. So you won't be able to return anything that's already in your graveyard.

One other point I want to make is that taking the top four card from your library and things like taking putting the top card of your library {example: Deranged Assistant }into your graveyard don't count as drawing cards so Oneirophage and Chasm Skulker won't trigger.

Lastly after play testing your deck a couple times the biggest weakness this deck has is the fact that your commander is 6 mana below I'll suggest some budget mana rocks, because the faster you have you commander online the faster your deck and do kraken things ^-^ but all of these mana rocks will be better than Meteorite which is very bad.

Good Luck on your deck! Hope that was helpful!

Not sure why you are running Drake-Skull Cameo over either of the Dimir mana rocks you have listed in the maybeboard as both have the same CMC, provide B or U, plus can either sac to draw a card or become a creature that could mill in a pinch. Though I could see a case for liking the art better. Not usually a fan of Frazier's stuff but I do like the look of the Cameo.

Have you considered Frozen AEther for the deck? Would pair with the Stasis though I'm not sure how well that combines with having a creatures to tap for mill strategy.

Unless you're going for style points, Dimir Cluestone is strictly better than Drake-Skull Cameo.
