Again, lands? You'll need more than 20.

You'll at the very least need 23, and that's with strong fixing. Curve peaks 4 ish, and a lot of the creatures and such are very mana specific. You don't want to be missing land drops with this build.

What do you suggest I remove?

Duskmantle GM is not good

It's not smart to run kill spells in mill. You usually want to get rid of their stuff as fast as possible, although, your mill doesn't  seem to be centered on milling them. Same with the counter mill card. I would run kill spells and other removal sideboard though.I see theirs 2 things centered on consuming, the god and the form. Stick with one of them. Also I would run 2 or no liliana's reaver. Tome scour? 24 lands with whatever duels you can afford would be good too.

I completely disagree with this. Any mill deck is almost always slower than any agro deck, especially since, until your opponent is dead, you can assume all your mill spells do nothing. (Let me know if I have to explain)

While you could maybe sideboard some of the removal, don't take all of it out. You'll need some to stop their creatures. Also, leave the counter spells in. They're good at stopping Planeswalkers that would annoy you otherwise.

People forget that Mill is Midrange/Control. It aims to stop opponents threats then just beat down on their library.

I just read {Disciple of Deceit} and I'm in love Transmute on a stick? Yes please!!

{Grisly Spectacle} will be nice against monsters
