Hey cool build! Definitely a +1 from me.

I'd recommend you try out Mesmeric Orb .

This could be really good with this deck!

Mesmeric Orb could go well with Basalt Monolith .

• ok So i have a UW version I can share with you Trap Mill
• The UB version is probably better Here is what I would do: 4x Hedron Crab (fetchlands make it to good) and probably 4x Manic Scribe That is it for creatures other than maybe Snapcaster Mage (archeive trap has an alternitive cost so you may pay 0 mana to flash it back).
• 4x Archive Trap Glimpse the Unthinkable Visions of Beyond , 3x Surgical Extraction (Modern loves its graveyard) Fatal Push (every deck needs removal and this helps so much), 1x Crypt Incursion life is nice, and its graveyard hate at instant speed.
• Mesmeric Orb it is symmetric but things in your graveyard isnt the worst. Ensnaring Bridge stops people from attacking you which is amazing
• Search for Azcanta  ^Flip also really helps and flips easy which lets you filter, dont run more than 2
• Field of Ruin helps you its also forced search!
• 6 fetchlands, 2 Watery Grave , 3x Shelldock Isle , 3 basics (more islands), 3x Darkslick Shores
• Other tempting adds: Mission Briefing Murderous Cut Collective Brutality
• I also like Scheming Symmetry

Hedron Crab and Mesmeric Orb are both great with Set Adrift . It is usually effective enough to win the game if your opponent is slower than you or soft to mill anyway.

What actions do you take when someone has Leyline of Sanctity in opening hand. I see you have set Set Adrift but the mana cost is high and the only other way is to Mesmeric Orb on yourself. And you are down at least 3 turns. Or do you just forfeit that game

Twincast copies Archive Trap if fraying sanity is in play and Archive Trap resolves I cast twincast for 52 card mill.

I use the elixir of immortality incase I need to reup my library. But I have noticed i dont use it that often. So eventually I will be swapping it out. Fatal Push will probably be the choice to replace elixir.

As for Mesmeric Orb I dont like the idea of milling myself. Granted it's a nice card.

I have some perplexities.. why Twincast over Mesmeric Orb ? Why Elixir of Immortality over Fatal Push ? What does Scheming Symmetry accomplishes here? I understand your other budget options though..

This looks like a good start. Here are some cards that came to mind when looking at your list. I am not sure what your budget is so I'll try to provide suggestions on both ends:

$$$$$: I second the suggestion of the other eldrazi titans, Sanctum of Ugin , and All Is Dust . Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is a fantastic boardwipe. Urza's Incubator can reduce the cost of all of your eldrazi. Eldrazi Temple and Ancient Tomb can also ramp you pretty quickly. Mesmeric Orb is a sneaky option to fill your graveyard quickly to power out Emrakul earlier. Command Beacon can get Emrakul into your hand from the command zone.

Budget: Perpetual Timepiece is a budget Mesmeric Orb that can also protect your graveyard. Geode Golem can cheat Emrakul into play from the command zone. Solemn Simulacrum is always fantastic. Endless Sands is great protection that can bring back creatures when needed. Not of This World is a free counterspell. Inspiring Statuary can turn all of your non-ramp artifacts into mana rocks.

I hope some of these suggestions help! Happy deck building and +1 from me!
