Dropping all red, now I just need all the white cards I need to splash white for mass removal business

if you're wanting mill, you need actual mill cards. Mind Grind , Increasing Confusion , Mind Sculpt , Jace, Memory Adept

Thanks man, I plan on adding cards like that in, once I actually get my hands on them, thats all I have right now. But I'll definitely keep those cards in mind once I get them.

Hey, i recently made a mill deck and love the idea of mill, hopefully i can give you some suggestions or card ideas :)

I think with only 6 mana its risky putting Reverberate in there. Your only other red cards are Mizzium Mortars, Goblin Electromancer, Dreadbore and Searing Spear which I would replace with actual mill. Like dizziethief said.

I would take red out, it seems in this deck it's just wasting space. if you want it to be mill but still with removal then your removal without red could be like Devour Flesh, Mutilate and the Murders if you want that much removal. However if you want red then maybe change some of your other stuff to support the mill aspect of the deck.

I like Devour Flesh because if you're running mill, it doesn't affect your win condition, and if you have Consuming Aberration then it will still be easy to beat them down considering how big Aberration gets.

However jace is expensive and considering there is a budget in mind I would just try and stack up on Mind Sculpt, Dream Twist, Mind Grind, Increasing Confusion and Aberrations.

If you want to put Paranoid Delusions in, then I recommend Invisible Stalker. And would replace Wight of Precinct Six with 4 invisible stalkers, mostly because some decks don't run very much creatures, and having a 1/1 with maybe two or three counters on the field isn't going to help you as much late game, whereas I think a hexproof with unblockable will be better in the long run for your cipher cards.

Consider changing the red with white. Esper seems decently successful if you dont like dimir. And your white cards would be cards like Terminus, Sphinx's Revelation, Supreme Verdict and Lingering Souls.

Terminate and Supreme verdict are your board wipe to draw out the game enough to be able to mill and ignore haste decks more easily. Sphinx's revelation is to counter the early haste damage and get cards, and lingering souls is for blocking and trading 1/1's. Although this would be more expensive.

If you wanted to go more control without red then you could play Psychic Strike, Cancel and/or Dissipate.

And I would probably take the guildgates out, because of the speed of them.

Hope I helped. Sorry for the wall of text.
