A mill deck with a sub-theme of stealing creatures. Stealing other player's creatures and spells help keep the gameplay different each game. It's pretty new and I'm looking for suggestions.

Pillow Fort

Step 1 in this deck is protecting ourselves with things like Silent Arbiter , Propaganda , Ensnaring Bridge , and good blockers like Fog Bank .

Mill Engines

Our commander can turn any creature into a mill engine, but our best engines include Consuming Aberration , Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker , Sphinx's Tutelage , Psychic Corrosion , Mindcrank , and Sword of Body and Mind .

Captilizing on Mill

If we're milling, we should be capitlizing on it with stuff like Nighthowler , Wight of Precinct Six , and Duskmantle Guildmage . There's also lots of oppurtunity to graverob with cards like Memory Plunder , Havengul Lich , Lazav, Dimir Mastermind , Connive / Concoct , and Extract from Darkness .

Combos and Wincons

We're rocking the classic Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank . We've also got one of my favorite jank cards, Pariah's Shield , which can stave off damage while I'm milling, but also pairs nicely with an indestructible commander as well as Fog Bank and Stuffy Doll I also really enjoy the politics that Stuffy Doll can bring to a game. Captain of the Mists is great with our commander by letting us untap one of our bigger creatures to mill more or activate King Macar, the Gold-Cursed .

Feedback Appreciated

Haven't been playing this deck long, it can and has won games. Theme-wise, I love the milling and stealing (love finally playing with my Memnarch ). I feel like the deck is either very dominant or it just falls flat on it's face. There may be too many artifacts in a commander deck that activates on creatures and cares about devotion.

Cards I'm considering cutting are:

Sands of Delirium - I like having a mana-sink, just not that impactful

Mindshrieker - Once again, decent mana-sink while I'm holding up an instant spell, and I can pump it up to make it a big creature/miller potentially, I'm just not sure how efficient it is

Shadowmage Infiltrator - great with my 2 milling equipment cards, but I have plenty of card draw otherwise

THANKS!
