This is my first attempt at building a commander mill deck. I'm not thrilled with where it's at right now, as I feel it probably needs more creatures, but I don't know what else to cut. Initially I had more counterspells and removal in the deck, but those had to go for more creatures.

The mill is a mix of both passive and burst mill. The passive mill comes from cards like Sphinx's Tutelage and Psychic Corrosion to mill my opponents when I draw cards, which is also why Card:Howling Mine and Dictate of Kruphix are in the deck (In addition to being less cards I have to mill my opponents for). The burst mill comes from the commander and cards like Consuming Aberration and Traumatize.

As a side note, anything in the creature category also doubles as mill with my commander if it's not already listed there, so I do have additional mill that's not directly listed.

Any tips/help/suggestion would be much appreciated.
