Just curious on how you classify this as "best"...

Do you have any budget ideas for a replacement of snapcaster?

There really isn't a great replacement for snapcaster. Closest thing that you could you is Augur of Bolas. I used it before snapcaster and it worked out fairly well.

I'm playing Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip in my mill deck. It's awesome.

Shoot! Took me almost a full minute of scrolling to get passed the comments! Haha.

Anyway, I suggest replacing Snapcaster Mage with Jace's Archivist. Average CMC will go up slightly, but Archivist does some nasty work. He's controlling as well as a miller, because you can play him turn 4, leave one blue mana free, then use his ability during opponent's turn after their draw step.

Any plan they figured out to do while it was your turn gets absolutely disrupted. He's nasty. Him paired with Sphinx's Tutelage has won me more games than I can count.

Just a suggestion!

Also, Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds can trigger double landfall for the Crabs.

Food for thought. Hope you like it!

Love this list. I've been working on an Esper coloured mill for awhile. I'm going to toy with the new card Fraying Sanity.

Thought it might be interesting in your deck too!
