As the title says, this is my brother's deck. Like my Karador, we still need to get a few staples. The deck is built around mass mill, discard, ect. Pretty much just getting stuff in the graveyard for various effects.
There are a lot of great cards in this format that allow you to draw and discard at the same time. Things like Compulsive Research, Thirst for Knowledge, Frantic Search, Sift, Probe, and the like are great for cycling through your deck and putting the right cards in the right places. I would put a few more of those kinds of effects in.
Also, Mesmeric Orb can add up a lot of things in the yard pretty quickly.
Normally, I'm all for the black spells that let you pay life to draw cards. In this narrow instance, however, I think the fact that you make such good use of your graveyard means that Looter-effects like Sift and Fact or Fiction and Frantic Search are probably better than paying life, because you get the added benefit of setting up your yard.
EDIT: Furthermore, all Looter-style draw spells are usually VERY cheap. One of my friends has a $50 Sedris deck with a whole bunch of these kinds of spells in it. None of them cost more than a buck or two.
I'm not a HUGE fan of Dreamborn Muse simply because it is one of those annoying cards that people like to kill or kill you for playing. For whatever reason, it just irks people to see it on the table. So, I have cut mine from my build. I have found that as the game goes on, enough stuff is in graveyard to be fun anyway. And the only time I was looking for more mill whas the first turn immediately following a bunch of graveyard hate. Other than that one or maybe two turns, I have always found good enough targets to make The Mimeoplasm really happy.

Orb looks VERY promising will try and get a copy, and we will keep an eye out for more looting effects.

Yeah, I might cut the Scrying to make more room, though. I had to cut the Grave Pact-type cards for space :/

IDK, we've never had an issue with him. At worst he just eats a removal spell, though people rarely care much about him.
a couple of all-stars from playing my Mimeoplasm this weekend: Greater Good ... just oh, so good Intuition ... it can do really good things for you, especially if you run Life from the Loam (which I don't currently) Genesis ... if this is one of your Intuition or Buried Alive targets, well you get the point Volrath's Stronghold ... recursion, recursion, recursion

Greater Good is about the only card from that list we can afford right now, but we will be sure to pick one up!
I like Insidious Dreams in this style of deck. Pitch fatties and tutor up reanimation spells. Windfall is another common target for it. There's also Memory Jar as a relatively cheap draw 7.
