1x Increasing Confusion

I built this deck focusing heavily on pure Mill mechanics. One and Two-Cost Mills get me started, but my downfall is board presence. I have a bit of control with my Dissipate and Murder/Devour Flesh, at least until I can get an Aberration on the board, along with a Cipher-loaded Invisible Stalker .

Most of help I'm looking for is to make this a bit faster. My biggest ramp is 5-drops with my Legendaries/Planeswalkers, with a high amount of 2's. I understand Mill is not a very popular playsytle for Standard, but I myself love the mechanic, and I'd like to build this deck to be more than just a pushover when I go against aggro-heavy decks. As far as Increasing Confusion and Mind Grind are concerned, they're more for the end-game, assuming I'm able to live that long.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :D

Deck Updated! — May 26, 2013

Edit

I have updated my deck a bit in the past week, and so far I'm liking the way it's running. Went to this last FNM with this build, and it did a whole lot better than my previous build.

Round #1: Went up against Jund Beatdown. First match I managed to mill out about 40 cards by round 5, but the his massive board presence got me in the end; second match I got mana-screwed.

Round #2: Had an interesting match against Esper control, and I won the first match with all of my Breaking / Entering and Mind Sculpt top-decks, because my opponent wasn't able to draw much control. Jace on T5 helped a lot, as well. I was surprised he was able to resolve.

Round #3: I want to say I got lucky, but at the same time, my opponent wasn't pulling his good cards on either game. First match was won with both of my Jace's Phantasm swinging in the air by T4. Second Match went a lot faster, as by T5 I have an Invisible Stalker ciphered with three Paranoid Delusions and a Jace out on the field. 19-card mill per turn eats a deck fast.
