This deck is mainly Karador-style recursion with splashy blue mill, to kick-start myself or wear down opponents. Child of Alara itself is an entertaining board wipe threat to tout around, devastating with Mikaeus on the battlefield, and enables any and all tutoring. The planeswalkers are primarily for buffs and tutoring. Enchantments for various levels of protection and ramping.

Several games have proven to me this deck is vulnerable to instant/sorcery-heavy styles of play until Privileged Position and Sterling Grove are down. I think more counter action against control players and the like could be a good edit, or at least a good package to keep along and sub out for the mill cards, but at least in my playgroup, this deck operates pretty well near what I feel is a 75% kind of deck. Suggestions are welcome!
