I have found that the following cards are indispensable for accelerating your wins, and knocking most of your opponents' strategies off-kilter:

• Dreamborn Muse + Kozilek, Butcher of Truth + Mesmeric Orb : Orb, Muse, or BOTH in play work wonders in helping you cycle through your own deck quickly (and pulling things from your Yard, especially with cards with Flashback, or creatures when you have Lazav in play copy them, or Phyrexian Reclamation or Oversold Cemetery in play to reclaim choice morsels), all while chewing through your opponents' libraries. Kozilek in your deck allows you to rinse and repeat

• Sadistic Sacrament is great for removing your opponents' Kozilek, Butcher of Truth's or other reshuffle effects OUT of their deck so that you can successfully and happily Mill to your heart's content

• Elixir of Immortality as a second way to refresh your library, in case Mr. Cosi is being a real Trickster and not showing up in your graveyard when you need him

• Leyline of the Void, Bojuka Bog, Tormod's Crypt, Relic of Progenitus, or Nihil Spellbomb as ways to fight your opponents' decks which have graveyard focused strategies

• Eater of the Dead + Phenax, God of Deception can go infinite. When facing creature light Opponents, do not be afraid to mill away most of your own deck first to load it with creatures to exile to the Eater when chewing through your Enemies' libraries

TheDevicer, Deckologist, with all due respect (and I DO respect you guys), Mill doesn't have to be weak. I am confidant that my Phenax deck, Lord of the Lies proves it. It has a very consistent record, and is able to comfortably take on 3-4 opponents without usually breaking a sweat.

Censuring, don't believe the h8ers. Mill is good, and king, ESPECIALLY if it makes YOU happy to play it.
