Sphinx's Mill (Aggro)

Frontier Mill UR (Izzet)

Sideboard


Enchantments
Sphinx's Tutelage: The namesake card. You want to draw a lot of cards with it in play, and the rest of the deck is pretty much focused on that.
Fevered Visions: Helps draw cards. It can also help deal damage as an alternate win con if milling is taking too long.

Sorceries
Cathartic Reunion: Draw cards. It's not much of a hindrance to discard since you go through so much of the deck already.
Magmatic Insight: Draw cards. Not as effective as Reunion, but 1 mana cheaper.
Treasure Cruise: Draw cards. Cathartic Reunion and the fetchlands fuel this nicely.

Instants
Just the Wind : Bounce a creature, preferably a Manic Scribe to get another ETB trigger. This isn't that effective though, so a replacement would be good.
Void Shatter: A counterspell, to protect Tutelage or keep creatures off the battlefield.
Dig Through Time: Just a 1-of since the deck wants to draw cards instead of this semi-draw. However, it's very powerful so I put one in. Might want a replacement.
Fiery Temper: This can be discarded to Cathartic Reunion and can either kill a creature or help Fevered Visions win through burn.

Creatures
Manic Scribe: ETB mill is decent, but the real winner is its Delirium ability - mill three every turn.
Thing in the Ice  : Really there to wipe the board when it transforms. Its 7/8 body after that makes for good offense or defense. It's actually quite good to bounce the Manic Scribes so they ETB again for more milling.

Overall, I'm not quite happy with this format of the deck. It seems a bit slow and easily disrupted. I built a control version here, and I think it's more resilient.
