This deck aims to either/both Mill out the opponent and/or attack quickly to aggro them out of the game.

The original idea was to use Lucky Clover + Merfolk Secretkeeper + Run Away Together as well as Folio of Fancies as the main milling engine. Unfortunately, the deck feels low on playables if this is the main milling method (using adventure spells). So I included Animating Faerie and Vantress Gargoyle to create some possible turn 3 beaters.

I added in Tribute Mage and made the deck Modern legal, as opposed to Standard, because Lucky Clover and Folio of Fancies are keys to the deck's success, and I wanted more ways to search for the 2 CMC artifact I'd need, depending on the game state. That said, I wouldn't mind taking out the Tribute Mage for something better, and switching the deck back to Standard.

I've considered swapping in the Witching Well to make more targets for Animating Faerie (while uping the copies of Animating Faerie to x4), because if a Lucky Clover is my only artifact in play, only the copy of the "Sorcery - Adventure" will resolve, and the originally cast Animating Faerie will fizzle and go into my graveyard (not good).

The rest of the spells are mainly utility: removal, draw, or mill--and I'm not married to any of them, so any and all constructive suggestions to tune up the deck would be helpful.

Thank you in advance!
