Have you considered Helm of the Host? A little slow starting, but sure turns into a crazy snowball effect!

Also, I know you're focusing on the Petitioners, but I personally feel Hedron Crab and his buddy Ruin Crab belong in all mill decks. :)

Perhaps Ipnu Rivulet for just that little extra mill and something to do if you get flooded?

Love mill +1

Hi, I had some ideas regarding your lands: You are in mono colors so you can afford more utility lands. The mentioned strip mine effects are really cool interactions and they help for your landfall as well with Ruin Crab and Hedron Crab. Similarly, you can add Castle Vantress if it is in the budget. And I really like Myriad Landscape. It both ramps and triggers landfall. You can add Fabled Passage as well if you have one lying around and not needed to other decks of yours. I love Zhalfirin Void as a scryland which comes into play untapped. Maybe you can use as well the other two blue cycling lands Desert of the Mindful and Remote Isle. The cycling lands make your deck slower which may be worth it maybe not.

In the mill theme, a nice final bow without any cost is Ipnu Rivulet. If you want to go to the dessert direction you can add Desert, Sunscorched Desert, and Endless Sands. The latter is especially good because it can protect your commander.

Lands ara cool resources which can help you out if everything else fails.

Deck seems slow, you need a lock piece. Something like a couple wraths or, if you can possibly afford it, Ensnaring Bridge is insane.

What you need is more board interaction, like Fatal Push or even just Cast Down, and some untapped duals. Choked Estuary is okay, River of Tears might help. Just lands that can ener untapped, regardless of how often, will increase this decks power by a lot.

On top of that, I'd use 4x Ipnu Rivulet and 1-2x Nephalia Drownyard. They're both okay but Rivulet is a free roll and Drownyard is a little less so.

For my mill deck it has been hard to decide whether to use Nephalia Drownyard or Ipnu Rivulet.

Into the Story también es buen draw. un Ipnu Rivulet también viene bien. Crypt Incursion contra mazos con mucho creature. Mesmeric Orb también se usa mucho maindeck en los mazos competitivos

Otras alternativas de enchantments mill son:

Drowned Secrets Teferi's Tutelage Sphinx's Tutelage

y como criaturas value y para chump bloquear:

Merfolk Secretkeeper Overwhelmed Apprentice

Jace, Memory Adept

What's so great about Ipnu Rivulet? This is a combo deck now, not a traditional mill deck, so the mill option doesn't even matter anymore,and I don't want to pay 1 life each time I want a water mana. I'm even thinking of removing my Minister of Inquiries even though they're good millers and useful blockers and only cost 1 mana, maybe for more room for Agonizing Remorse or a better creature card to use. The most mill I need is for myself when I have "My death is your death" win condition. Tome Scour is my best bet for milling myself or my enemy. When I want to cast Vantress Gargoyle I only have to have 7 cards milled out of the enemy's deck, so it's no big problem to have a small amount of mill. I want to use something like Tome Scour or my Walls and my other millers to give me at least 10 graveyard cards so that I can cast Crypt Incursion and gain at least 30 life! That will give me plenty of time to win even if I don't have a drawing advantage of my combos. Should I use Hover Barrier??? I don't have anything against flying creatures if I were to face them besides my Vantress Gargoyle.

That is probably wise. I don't think they were doing a lot for you. Drowned Secrets might with the incision of Opt. This is turning far more into a combo deck with the one-two punch of Fraying Sanity + Traumatize . You might drop one Opt and one Crypt Incursion for two Dig Through Time. That could help you find your wincons even faster.

Also, I know that I said this above, but Ipnu Rivulet is a great card here. Drop a couple of islands for a few. There is relatively little downside.
