Captain N'ghathrod
Legendary Creature — Horror Pirate
Horrors you control have menace. (They can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)
Whenever a Horror you control deals combat damage to a player, that player mills that many cards. (They put that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.)
At the beginning of your end step, choose a target artifact or creature card in an opponent's graveyard that was put there from their library this turn. Put it onto the battlefield under your control.

Big Booties Tapping to Mill for a Million
7 months ago
KongMing, I actually played around a bit with Mind Grind and Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker in the list.
I honestly just found that they weren't the best value of mana to mill, or moreso in the case of Mirko that he didn't fit as well with the defender wall feeling I liked going for with the deck.
They were both late cuts that almost stayed in, so they've still stuck around in the Maybeboard for the deck.
Undercity Informer, on the other hand, is one that I hadn't actually considered yet.
Like you said, it's an interesting retaliation for a board wipe, assuming I have plenty of open mana.
dr.kronski, I think Captain N'ghathrod
definitely has some potential to pull a lot of good creatures out of my opponents' graveyards.
The one downside I see is that he only triggers on MY end step.
The reason this is a problem is because a big strength of this deck and commander is that I'm able to leave all of my high-toughness blockers up to block for me and just tap them down to mill at the end step before my turn.
So as a result, the majority of the mill that the deck dishes out isn't actually during my own turn.

"Commonly Mispronounced" Tribal
9 months ago
I actually have no idea how to pronounce a lot of these. The ones that are real words I can get, but I don't know how most of the made-up names go--I can read them, but I don't know the official pronunciation--stress patterns, weird letters, etc. Maybe I should listen to more podcasts or watch videos or whatever.
A lot of them are just paying attention to letter order. Je gan tha, not Je nga tha. St ro mkirk, not St or mkirk.
Some of my (probably wrong) pronunciations Show
How did I do?

Eldritch Captain of the Deep [Lovecraftian Primer]

That's normally the case, but a bunch of cards from this Ravnica Block say 'Reveal X cards from the top of your Library until...'. That reveal condition makes it not technically Mill, which is just put cards from your library into the graveyard.
So it doesn't trigger Zellix, who cares about the Mill Keyword, but it does work for Captain N'ghathrod, who cares about any cards that enter the graveyard from the library (regardless if they pass that 'reveal' zone).
A good rule of thumb if you aren't sure if it's officially Mill or not is to check the Gatherer page. https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Default.aspx
That will have all the updated/errated cards with their official oracle text. Like Archive Trap was errated to say '...Mill 13 cards', but Consuming Aberration doesn't have that change.
I had to change out a bunch of cards that have the Reveal Mill effect when I switched this deck over from Lazav, Dimir Mastermind. It's such a small distinction haha. But I kept Consuming Aberration in this deck because it's still really effective, and it's flavor is on point with my Lovecraftian theme.

Lazav Mill n' Kill
1 year ago
Cool deck! I used to run a Lazav, Dimir Mastermind mill deck, but ended up turning it into Captain N'ghathrod. I still have Lazav in it though.
One card that I ran with Lazav is Grinning Totem. It seems innocent enough, but it's effectively a tutor for Lazav. You can pick the best/strongest/biggest creature out of an opponents deck, then either cast it if you want/can, or just wait until the next upkeep, when it goes back to it's owners graveyard. Since Lazavs trigger says 'From anywhere...', he can turn into that creature. Turn him into an Emrakul, the Promised End or Avacyn, Angel of Hope. I've gotten some pretty salty looks after using it haha.

The Horror ... THE HORROR! *PRIMER*
1 year ago
Fun looking deck! As a fellow Captain N'ghathrod, I always enjoy seeing other people have fun with him.
A few cards I'd recommend adding.
Roaming Throne - This card is great with our Captain. It will cause both of his triggered abilities (Triggered abilities = “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) to double, Milling twice as many cards and getting two permanents out of an opponent's graveyard at the end of turn. It's colorless, so we don't have to worry about mana; has Ward 2, which makes it hard to remove; and can enter as a Horror to benefit off of our Captain.
Everflowing Chalice - With Hullbreaker Horror and Sol Ring, you can create a loop of bouncing each artifact back to hand, netting one colorless mana each time around. If you're not into infinite combos, then no worries. Funnily enough, this infinite combo was actually present in the Captain Precon deck.
Drown in Dreams - A great outlet if you end up running the above loop, or just a great way to Mill someone and Draw a bunch of cards.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the Medallions outside of mono-colored decks. I'd rather have an artifact that can just tap for mana rather than a reducer. But that's just my thoughts.
All together though, it looks great!

ForceablePizza: None of what you mentioned were missing the thick treatment. Captain N'ghathrod
, Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald and Firkraag, Cunning Instigator are treatments that only exist irl and in our database as thick. The default treatment for each is only in foil, and the extended border treatment for each is in both normal and foil.
Raugrin Triome does not have a standard promo as far as I can find across all vendors. It does have though Raugrin Triome, the borderless treatment, Raugrin Triome *pp* the promo pack and Raugrin Triome *f-pre* the pre-release promo. The final two which are treated as treatments, primarily because doing anything other than automatic treatments is needlessly wasting time.
You may want to read this site updates article to get more information on how tappedout deals with treatments. And this article about variations to better learn about those.
Now in making this post I double checked the card previews to make sure they were right and lo-and behold the CLB's were not showing their thick displays. I can do it manually but it should be showing up automatically. This made me double check what the text deck auto-complete list shows you, and it does not display the thick treatment. It should look like this Captain N'ghathrod *thick*.
So they are in the site, however the deck editor and the card preview here seems to have bugs which I'll forward to the devs.

Captain N'ghathrod Missing Thick Treatment
Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald Missing Thick treatment
Raugrin Triome Missing Promo Art & Pricing
Firkraag, Cunning Instigator Missing Thick Treatment
Please note, the missing treatment listed above are in addition to the treatments that are already in the database. These cards have both a "Foil" and a "Thick" treatments. Based on how many are currently missing, I am sure there are more from the CLB set that are missing their "Thick" treatments as well, but I am still imputing my collection, slowly.
Thanks, for your help.
