If milling is a bigger concern than going down via life points I'd suggest sideboarding a Psychic Spiral turn that close call into a mill-out for your opponent.

Don't know how I didn't see that...nice 'derp' moment for the record books.

Oh man, this looks like a crazy fun deck. Heck, it's mana-unspecific enough to not need any Steam Vents . One thing though: Hypersonic Dragon . Have you considered it for your maindeck since you have so many sorceries? the Dragon + Melek would be pretty solid.
As for sideboard, maybe Frostburn Weird or Anger of the Gods for Hexproof creatures.
Also, I absolutely love your deck name.

Best deck name ever!
I don't think you need Skullcrack . Lightning Strike might be more versatile?

I strongly suggest keeping Skullcrack. You don't want an Ordeal of Heliod or Sphinx's Revelation putting a game out of reach.
+1 to sideboarding four Anger of the Gods

It's a mill deck so it doesn't matter how much life they have. I'd add a Cyclonic Rift to deal with non-creatures and big board states.

Nice Ideas Everyone! Thanks for all your comments and +1's.

Spellheart Chimera would be a wincon in this deck. I would definitely think about fitting in 3 of them.

I just noticed that the color cost is completely symmetrical. Why not the mana base?

If your goal is to win through damage, cut the mill for, say, Guttersnipe or Young Pyromancer and bump up to 4 chimeras. The idea of self mill into a big chimera is cute, but that's all it really is. Magma jet is a lot better in this than shocks, so I'd bump that up to 4 and cut shock entirely. Dissolve is really good too.

My goal isn't to win through damage, the lifegain in standard right now is through the roof. I never mill myself. Ever.
I hear what you are saying about Shock , Thanks!

Never say never - It's a desperate move but those Psychic Spirals can really turn a game around after a bit of self milling. If you have the Psychic Spiral in hand keep self mill open as an option, using Traumatize on yourself then Psychic Spiral can win a hopeless situation in two turns or less depending on your mana situation.

Ha! Didn't even consider that. It is desperate, but ''zany-wincons" is my middle name!

The problem with the mill in here is that you're losing out on important control elements. Tome Scour , against an aggro deck that can win on turn 5 or 6, is basically a dead card, where you'd be much better served with an Anger of the Gods to stop the 5 weenies attacking you dead in their tracks. And Psychic Spiral + Spellheart Chimera is a pretty horrible nonbo

Anger of the Gods is already in my sideboard for Aggro match-ups, and you guessed what is coming out for it... Tome Scour .
Thanks for the feedback! Keep posting!
