This is my modern mill deck, Still deciding on cards for sideboard though, mind you all that I am just dipping into modern, let me know what you guys think! I was also toying with the idea of  {Shelldock Isle}.

{Visions of Beyond} is great in mill. You really want to be running fetch lands to get the most out of {Hedron Crab}.

I also think cutting 4 {Fog Bank} and 3 {Quicken} to put in some  {Extirpate} and more mill spells such as {Archive Trap} would help, possibly adding another BSZ or another sweeper like {Damnation}.

[Mlerner12]

{Szafek, Lord of Secrets} could help. Also, this deck looks really open to Aggro- maybe add {W} for Control or Lifegain, and sideboard 3 {Lazav, Dimir Mastermind.

Well I agree that  {Visions of Beyond} is good, just didn't seem to play test that well, I seemed to be drawing them too early and then just wanted to cycle them to get another card. I actually liked the {quicken}s because I was getting the card plus I can cast my plethora sorcery spells at instant speed.

{archive trap}s are in the sideboard because it becomes a slower card if the opponent does not have a deck with fetches and such.

Also I would like to run fetches and  {Damnation}s but I don't really have the money to invest, but you are right about that. :/

I really feel like the {fog bank}s are necessary to protect against creatures/flying though.

I appreciate the input though, I will take it into consideration.

Nah the white would work against the deck and slow it down, also {szafek} and {lazav} are too slow, that's why I took out {jace, memory adept} also, just wayyyy too slow for the deck.

[InfinitiveDivinity]

Run {Ghost Quarter} alongside {Archive Trap}, then you can "force" them to search.

[DeathlyFoiend]

If you think Archive Traps are slow, you're playing mill incorrectly. Everydevk besides affinity shuffles their deck.

No Rest in Peace in case you hit Tron? I mean you either have surgical extraction or Haunting Echoed AND a quicken you're dead. Just a thought.

Tron isn't completely about the grave though, that is mostly UW version. Th GR version and the u version are the most common. And they are ramp and control.

[ApexPredator]

{Rest in Peace} is out of his colors. I would run  {Leyline of the Void} or {Tormod's crypt} side board. {Mindbreak Trap} is also a sb must.

[Arbitratur]

Well like I said this is my first modern deck, So I do appreciate all of the input. I'm not super familiar with the other decks out there.ive  Pretty much been a standard player.

So I'll main board the  {Archive Trap}s. You think take out the {haunting echoes}? Run the crypt s/b instead? Also do you think it's not worth it to run the {Quicken}s? Also what do you guys think about {twincast}? Is it worth it? I just want this thing to be as fast as possible...

[Arbitratur]

Also Besides the exiling factor I thought that {haunting echoes} was good To draw late game After at least half of their library is  in the graveyard It's can probably exile around 20 cards from their library And give me a big lead

Also what should I have to answer  {Leyline of Sanctity}???
