To be honest, I have zero experience with station effect. But, I would be more than happy to help. I have been deck building for a while. What kind of suggestions are you looking for?

There are some great speed cards in red like Fraying Sanity

In blue I would recommend a little more interaction cards like Mana Drain.

Even some tutors would speed you up, like Fabricate.

Let me know.

I would check out Fraying Sanity. It can definitely make you a target for the following game. LOL

What kind of suggestions are you looking for? What is the budget?

I only suggest Fraying Sanity because my playgroup plays it and it is pretty rude.

I like Fraying Sanity because it singles out a player setting up potential revenge for a later game.

I play competitive mill. I love Fraying Sanity because it is rude. Singling out makes for a tense game.

Mill decks only ever want to be running Hedron Crab and Ruin Crab as creatures. Any other options are just not helpful or conductive towards winning. Specifically:

• both Consuming Aberration and Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker cost such a high amount of mana that the game should already be over (mill decks should be aiming to win by turn 4). and both barely does any amount of actual milling for their egregious costs.

• Duskmantle Guildmage is only useful as a combo card with Mindcrank. On its own it's basically useless. If you are doing the Mindcrank combo then there's no real reason to run any other mill cards.

• Fog Bank does nothing and gives your opponent more time to overwhelm you or assemble their combo.

Other cards that i'd suggest are bad choices:

• Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver does very little for its cost. milling 3 cards for 3 mana is a very slow rate.

• Fraying Sanity is a massive trap card that a lot of casual mill players fall into. In almost all cases it doesn't speed up the clock for you beating your opponent.

• All of Mind Grind, Increasing Confusion, Mind Funeral, and Pilfered Plans just do faar too little for their mana cost. Memory Sluice is also a really bad return unless you can really reliably trigger it's Conspire ability.

I would suggest looking at cards like Fractured Sanity, Maddening Cacophony, and Tasha's Hideous Laughter *list*. Archive Trap is also a mill-must-have, but may be less-useful if your playgroup isn't using fetchlands. Jace, the Perfected Mind is also serviceable as a planeswalker.

Your deck also really needs some interaction - mill decks are typically too slow to out-race aggro and combo, so you need options to make sure you slow those decks down enough to win the race. Options normally include Drown in the Loch, Fatal Push, and Surgical Extraction

I don't think Hullbreaker Horror is doing much for you here. He's way too high a mana cost to just have floating around in a 22 mana deck that has no mana ramp or some way to cheat him into play or reduce his cost.

I'd look at more mill-based stuff like Fraying Sanity, Tasha's Hideous Laughter (though, this doesn't work with Fraying Sanity - important note), Drowned Secrets, or things of that nature.

Hope this helps! Add me on Arena if you ever want to deck tech or run some test games (info on my profile).

Some thoughts that you can take or leave:

• Fraying Sanity is a card that can only really be justified as a 1-of at-best. Drawing a second copy will almost always lose you the game as you’ll never get time to play it, and mill games can easily be lost by one useless draw.

• Running 4x Jace, the Perfected Mind seems excessive. 2-3 feels like the most a deck can justify before its high mana cost impedes deck functionality.

• I get what you’re aiming for with Scheming Symmetry, but it’s far more gimmick-than-useful. The fact this card puts you down 1 card in-hand means its almost always hurting you more than helping you - it might help with one strong turn, but the card disadvantage will ruin your ability to close-out games. Imo just run the full playset of Field of Ruin and aim for more ”individually strong” cards.

• imo your mainboard feels lacking in quantity of both interaction (Fatal Push, Surgical Extraction) and mill-spells (Tasha's Hideous Laughter). I think Fraying Sanity, Scheming Symmetry, and Trapmaker's Snare are all taking up a lot of space in your deck, and taking away your ability to compete.
