Self-Mill deck, having some issues 5/12/2012 5:25:29 PM

Hey guys,

I recently put together the following deck and have played with it quite a bit but I am running into some problems...

It takes a little time to build up the creatures, and I'm finding that quick aggro decks, especially card with flying basically destroy me before I get a chance to do some serious damage.

Please take a look and feel free to criticize and give suggestions!

60 cards

4 Evolving Wilds Buy
6 Forest Buy
4 Hinterland Harbor Buy
1 Island Buy
2 Kessig Wolf Run Buy
1 Mountain Buy
4 Sulfur Falls Buy
22 lands

4 Ambush Viper Buy
4 Armored Skaab Buy
4 Boneyard Wurm Buy
3 Dungeon Geists Buy
4 Ghoultree Buy
1 Kessig Cagebreakers Buy
4 Screeching Skaab Buy
4 Splinterfright Buy

Try to add some mana-producers like Llanowar Elves Buy or Deranged Assistant Buy to speed up your strategy, maybe to replace some Armored Skaab Buy.

I wonder what the lone Rolling Temblor Buy is doing there. Perhaps you can replace it with more Kessig Cagebreakers Buy to increase your token army as you increase your graveyard pile. Spider Spawning Buy is also a great option of token production. Note that the Spider tokens have Reach, thus you have a greater chance of blocking flying creatures off your camp.
