Might be hard because most mill type cards are blue. Unless your trying to dredge.

You have to narrow your perimeters: what is your way to win, how do you achieve it, how do you protect your win, and how can you stop your opponent?

Abzan is terrible for self mill. The only colour you get that's even ok at it is green. Go either Jund or Temur with a black splash for reanimating things.

The reason I chose Abzan is I still have access to my main mill cards and reanimater cards, such as {dead bridge chant} and {nyx weaver}.
I also have better white cards than I do red or blue

I would say post the list you seen then we can help you edit it. Or the cards you have as a base.

Also check out deatfed event deck

I think you are trying to make a dredge or graveyard creature deck. This is not really considered self mill. I hope this helps.

What do you want to win with? Big creature smashing or mortal combat. Or what way are you looking to play the deck?

I'm mostly going for big creatures, with mortal combat being my back up(if I can get my hands on some)

Deadbridge Chant is too slow for modern. As is champion of the stray souls. Replace the chant with {Unburial Rights}. As for the champion, replace with cards like {Mulch}
