Would like some help with my sultai mill deck. Basic idea is:
Turn 1 - land + embodiment of spring/disowned ancestor
Turn 2 - Land + Sylvan Caryatid
Turn 3 - Land + wall of frost or 2 drops
Turn 4 - Land + Prophet of kruphix
Their turn 4 endstep flash in phenax, mill for 20-23
Turn 5 - Land, more creatures and mill for 20-30
Their turn 5 - mill them out.

Ideas?

Biggest concern I see is that you have no way to interact with the opponent. You T1-6 you listed is the ideal running of the deck. Provided no disruption to your game plan. {villainous wealth} helps, but if you aren't clicking on all cylinders (and maybe even if you aren't) one flying threat takes you out of the game and quick.

{Sultai Charm} and {Thoughtseize} are the best suggestions I have for this deck.

Needs more ashiok.  Sure the help to mill is marginal, it is the threat ashiok imposes that makes it so good ... your opponent has to have answers to it before you start putting their {mantis riders} and {siege rhinos} against them

How did I miss Ashiok??

-2 Opulent Palace
+2 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver

Curve is quite good, and with 4 Caryatids and the Kiora's Followers, i'm happy with 22 lands.
