I'm gonna assume everyone's seen an Lazav EDH so I'm just posting this to get some opinions on this deck and if I need to make any additions or cuts to it. This deck came about due to a friend telling me that milling was next to impossible in EDH and when the RTR block came out, it was more than possible now and with several more absurd ways to win.
The deck works fairly well and can end at least one person pretty easily though it takes a lot of land to do so. Once you get about 8-9 mana available, the game belongs to you; you can counter anything that tries to stop you and you can freely crush a player with commander damage or mill them slowly.
Traumatize and Keening Stone will kill off one person on their next turn and Traumatize by itself is more than enough to catch a Eldrazi hitting the graveyard.
Grinning Totem lets you look for that one creature card you can use for yourself to become Avacyn, Dimir Mastermind when you eventually discard it.
Duskmantle Guildmage and anything that mills is also another way to victory, especially with Jace, Nemesis of Reason or even Mind Grind. Backups like Guiltfeeder help round out your late game if you have a particularly stubborn opponent and Recall just helps to bring everything you need back for one more go.
The deck has been working very well but I appreciate any insight or questions for the deck.
