there's just somethng about the Old frames and art style that brings a smile to me face... love that old Hurkyl's Recall art!

Some thoughts:

• the only creatures ever worth running in a mill deck are Hedron Crab and Ruin Crab. The current selection of creatures you’re running are all extremely slow, durdly, and low-impact - i’d suggest ditching them.

• a bunch of your mill spells are extremely weak and/or resource inefficient. Specifically Mind Grind, Tome Scour and Traumatize shouldn’t really be played. I’d suggest more powerful options such as Fractured Sanity, Tasha's Hideous Laughter, and Archive Trap.

• Similarly, a lot of your other cards are just really suboptimal. I’ll list these and potential replacements below.

• Brainsurge is just worse than Visions of Beyond or Preordain. 3 mana for this kind of effect is just too slow/weak.

• Psychic Strike is just a worse Counterspell or Drown in the Loch. Milling a lowly 2 cards will never be worth spending an extra mana.

• Sleep is just a worse Ensnaring Bridge or Crypt Incursion. Its effect being only one turn makes it too limiting to be useful.

• I know you built the deck around Jace, the Mind Sculptor, but he doesn’t do anything useful for mill. You’d be much-better off running Jace, the Perfected Mind

• Hurkyl's Recall is a sideboard card at-best.

• Part the Waterveil is just too mana expensive to ever actually get cast. There’s zero reason to run this.

• I have no idea why you have Talent of the Telepath, in the deck.

• Mill is supposed to be fast and efficient, so there is no room for Chromatic Lantern, or Manalith in the deck. You need to lower your mana curve drastically, instead of trying to accomodate all these high-mana cards.

If you’re looking for an example competitive mill deck, this one here is a good baseline to build from.

TheOfficialCreator I had most of those in the build already. I still have Hurkyl's Recall and Retract. Though the others didn't make the cut. Are there any recommendations on what you would swap out for the ones you recommended?

Surge of Brilliance would be HUGE in this deck. You also appear to be missing Memnite. Hurkyl's Recall, Retract, and Rebuild are incredibly helpful in artifact-heavy storm decks. Also Gitaxian Probe, Mishra's Bauble, and Urza's Bauble.

Some small thoughts for fun things and stuff:

• In addition to Echo of Eons, I'm quite a fan of Time Spiral. It's not as abusable, sure, but untapping your lands is quite nifty. Given you have Narset, Parter of Veils in the deck, maybe you could also go for the Teferi's Puzzle Box lock with it...
• A "given" for me, in any monocolor deck, is going for the Extraplanar Lens strategy with snow-covered lands. You could also think now about Winter Moon, which seems like a lot of fun (for you).
• Mystical Tutor might be something I would prefer over Merchant Scroll, primarily because you can imprint it with Isochron Scepter and get lots of instants and sorceries. (On the other hand, you do have a lot of targets for Scepter...)
• In terms of zero-mana disruption, perhaps Commandeer and/or Misdirection are worthwhile. In a deck like yours, maybe Counterbalance could also be worth consideration, given how competitive decks have lower/more consistent mana curves (and you have Sensei's Divining Top...).
• Hurkyl's Recall seems also like a "fun" toy, especially in conjunction with Mycosynth Lattice, and given how artifact-heavy a lot of strategies/decks are...

Reyav, Master Smith, Vryn Wingmare, Wall of Denial, Gaea's Revenge, Hurkyl's Recall, Phyrexian Colossus, Shared Fate, Unmask, Eidolon of the Great Revel, Catastrophe, Kalamax, the Stormsire. Are all missing "The List" alteration. The linked printings are all the correct printings.

Hurkyl's Recall

Those are all great suggestions, Dead_Blue_! I’m sure I could find a spot for Day's Undoing somewhere and Hurkyl's Recall looks like an excellent sideboard card. Murktide Regent is a great suggestion too, but it‘s just a little too expensive for me to run a full set.

Thanks for the suggestions!
