Oh yeah what about Mind Funeral, Mind Grind, Balustrade Spy or suchlike?

Could speed things up if you could get the mana to afford them no? Then you just play your Gitaxian Probe and ta-daa!

I took out the 4 Darkness for 3 Drown in the Loch +1 Surgical Extraction and replaced Mind Funeral for 3 Fatal Push +1 extraction.

-1 Breaking though I love the card and -1 land for 2 Opt.

Lost to a janky mill deck. Beat amulet titan twice (surgical!) Rw land destroy, zombies, merfolk, white life, haakon,storm.

I want to play burn. I put 3 Extirpate in the side for vs burn matchup but want something better.

Looks really nice, but no Laboratory Maniac as well as the Lab-man Jace? Also as a heads up, Syr Konrad, the Grim only works if creatures go to the graveyard, or creatures leave your own graveyard. Bouncing them won’t trigger him.

Mind Funeral and Traumatize can both be used to self-mill, and if you can get him attacking consistantly, Fleet Swallower can mill you every turn.

Feldon's Cane is a cheaper cmc version of Clear the Mind although redundancy in a self-mill deck is never a bad idea.

Ooh thanks for all the suggestions Andrew30001! Since this deck is so new, a lot of cards are just ones I already owned. In terms of the counterspell suggestions, I really like the Stormtamer and Spellsnatcher. Siren Stormtamer looks perfect for all the Bojuka Bogs going around in my playgroup, and Kheru Spellsnatcher is another counter that lets me steal the spell for later use.

Speaking of the land searches too, I actually picked up a cheap Expedition Map the other day, I can use that and Sakura-Tribe Elder. However, while I was eyeing up the Saga, The Mending of Dominaria will shuffle my graveyard back into my library which is what I don’t want. I’ll have to look for an Eternal Witness and Mind Funeral for sure.

Devious Cover-Up and Bond of Insight are both for recursion of instants/sorceries but possibly replaceable once I test and see how new cards are interacting. Peregrine Drake alone is admittibly only good if I have the bounce lands out, but Deadeye with any of the etb creatures is great (Gravebreaker Lamia/Gray Merchant of Asphodel/Ravenous Chupacabra etc). Mesmeric Orb is awesome but too pricy if I want to keep this deck budget. Mindslaver is certainly interesting and I’ve seen the constant replaying to keep controlling someone, I don’t particularly want to be playing it. It’s simply not a fun card for whoever I’d be controlling and I don’t participate in any sort of tournaments.

Nice unique take on Muldrotha! For starters, I would try to cut as many nonpermanents as possible because the less of those, the more cards you can cast with Muldrotha. I would take out Counterspell, Devious Cover-Up, and Price of Fame and replace them with cards like Lunar Force and Decree of Silence or even Siren Stormtamer and Kheru Spellsnatcher. You could also replace them with plain removal like Pernicious Deed, Oblivion Stone, Hostage Taker, etc. However, I very much like Spelljack because it is so on theme with the deck, keep it in! In terms of ramp, Cultivate and Explosive Vegetation are great choices, but you can get by with using Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wayfarer's Bauble, Khalni Heart Expedition, The Mending of Dominaria for your ramp package. These are useful because, once again, they are repeatable. I would also cut the Llanowar Elves if you add enough other ramp cards. Archaeomancer can be upgraded for Eternal Witness. Bond of Insight, Merfolk Secretkeeper, and Mire Triton feel a little out of place because they only mill a few cards. If you want big mill spells I would put in Mind Funeral and Traumatize and for permanents that mill, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, Stitcher's Supplier, and Dreamborn Muse from your sideboard are all great cards and to top it all off Mesmeric Orb is a terrific card. If you want more instant and sorcery recurral The Mirari Conjecture is great for that. I'm not sure what Deadeye Navigator and Peregrine Drake are doing for you when they are on their own. Evil Twin, and any cards that copy other creatures are flavorful additions. Lastly, why not just steal their permanents when you can also steal their turns with Mindslaver. I hope my ideas have helped, and I hope you keep improving this deck!

Mind Funeral might be a good add, especially since you're pulling lands out of opponents' libraries already.

Looks great!

I would include one Mystic Sanctuary and one Oboro, Palace in the Clouds instead of a flooded strand. 8 fetches it's a little too much when you're two colours. (oboro good against choke as well)

I think you're missing Mission Briefing. It's a very good card as, unlike snappy, you can play the alternative cost to cards (e.g archive trap or surgical).

Mind Funeral is one of my favourite cards. Unfortunately, it's not great. Consider Mission Briefing, Collective Brutality, Surgical Extraction or Search for Azcanta  ^Flip

Ashiok, Dream Render is mainly used for her static effect. Can main board if your meta has a lot of scapeshift or something, but I would keep her a 1-2 of in the side.

Not a big fan of Profane Memento. I think Crypt Incursion is just better as you don't have to hard mulligan for it as you can top deck it.

Consider Leyline of Sanctity if burn, jund or mardu pyromancer is big in your meta.

I feel like Inquisition of Kozilek is just a (very good) filler card. If you're struggling to fit something in, I would cut that.

I'd try and work on getting 4-ofs of the better mill cards to improve your consistency. Use 4 Breaking / Entering , 4 Mind Funeral , 4 Thought Scour , 4 Archive Trap . Go down the 2 Pilfered Plans, the Altar of the Broods, the Tormod's Crypt (the crypts are more a SB card), and a few creatures (spectors or lobotomist). Work towards trading or saving for a set of Glimpse the Unthinkable s since they're one of the best mill spells ever printed. Then I'd cut the non-crab creatures for some black removal spells like Dismember , Fatal Push , or the more budget ones like Doom Blade , Ultimate Price , or Grasp of Darkness . In this deck, Drown in the Loch might be one of the better removal spells you could run that can also counter important things after turn 3 or so. Merfolk Secretkeeper is a great budget mill card that gives you blockers against creature decks that also mills. I'd run 4 of those before any other non- Hedron Crab creature, and maybe before Tome Scour s to be honest. Visions of Beyond should be the only card-draw spell you need in a modern mill deck, so I'd add that to your maybe list at least. I don't know if you're trying to get the entire deck under a certain budget, or if you're just slowly trying to accumulate the best mill cards that you can, so hopefully some of my suggestions help. It's been a while since I sleeved up a mill deck, but the last time I did it looked something like this. I would definitely change some things about it, but it might be a good starting point for you depending on how competitive you want to be.
