The posted list is how I'm playing at the moment, and the reasions why im playing each card, but I am looking to improve it and make it more competitive.

Land 24

4 Drowned Catacomb
4 Creeping tar pit
4 Tectonic edge
8 Island
4 Swamp

Instant 17

3 Into the roil - to bounce whatever made it past countering - Hedron crabs will probably replace this.
3 Archive trap - most decks search at the moment
3 countersquall - a cheap counter that also causes loss of life/ see assassin note
4 cancel - counter anything
4 mana leak -counters most, or leaves them with less mana

Sorcery 6

3 Mind funeral - effective cheap mill
3 telemin performance - nick big beastie if playin against morph/ awesome against no creature decks

Creatures 6

3 Royal assasin - Need something to kill creatures that made it to board/ not sure whether to replace assassin or squall to add traumatize
3 Surrakar spellblade - to keep my hand topped up

Enchantment 4

4 leyline of the void - maindeck due to amount of Gy shenanigans

Artifact 3

3 elixer of immortality - why play spells once when you can cast them multiple times?


Sideboard

3 regress - when you need more bounce esp leyline of sanctity
3 consume the meak - mass counter decks hate this
3 essence scatter - creature heavy decks, replace countersquall
3 lillana vess - whwn leylines arent needed lilana is a nice utility.
3 executioners capsule - extra creature kill if required works on emmy.

Any advice/ crit is welcomed, i wanna make this deck better :)

There is more control than mill in here. Where are Hedron Crabs, Traumatize, Keening Stone, and Haunting Echoes.

The echos and keening stone arent needed because of void, but I'd like to be able to add traumatise and crabs.

Thanks for tips turbine.

Any others?

I would lose some counterspells if the main way to kill is mill. That makes the remaining counterspells all the more important. Saving them for whatever your opponent's deck seems to rely on. Definitely your Royals will buy time for you.

I would suggest just sideboarding the Leylines.

sideboard telmin, while its a great card its to limited, if its not  a morph or creatureless deck its can potential be a 5 mana waste, tramatize can go there as it is the same cmc, and will do damage ageaionest any deck.  as for leyline, its the same as telemin, usefull againest some decks though not the majority, there is your crab

-Hedron Crabs are a good turn 1 drop, considering you don't have any others, run some tarns/flats to help
-Bump Archive Trap up to 4, this card is one of the best mill cards in standard right now.
-Jace Beleren He gives you card advantage and a big mill, or a damage soak if they decide to destroy him
-Negate is better than Countersquall here, the mana is easier and 2 damage doesn't matter.
-Surrakar Spellblade isn't very good here, and Jace can replace him for card draw.
-Elixir of Immortality is meh. Just add more mill.

How about Jace's Erasure + Jace (himself)... with the brainstorm ability...
Jace is the best card to exploit Jace's Erasure's trigger...
