Thanks for the feedback !! I have yet to test this. I played a scheming symmetry build a few months ago but it felt really top-decky after, I agree the individual strong cards are probably better. I don't love Tasha's given meta, and my local store, I see some ppl just siding it for amulet and low cmc decks. I like what you say about 2 copies of freying sanity, it feels slower looking at it but I am trying to see if some of these other cards have any place in the deck. The original idea was like: "how can I pull off 4 Archive traps in one turn lol", will make considerations; thank you.

Some thoughts that you can take or leave:
Fraying Sanity is a card that can only really be justified as a 1-of at-best. Drawing a second copy will almost always lose you the game as you’ll never get time to play it, and mill games can easily be lost by one useless draw.
Running 4x Jace, the Perfected Mind seems excessive. 2-3 feels like the most a deck can justify before its high mana cost impedes deck functionality.
I get what you’re aiming for with Scheming Symmetry, but it’s far more gimmick-than-useful. The fact this card puts you down 1 card in-hand means its almost always hurting you more than helping you - it might help with one strong turn, but the card disadvantage will ruin your ability to close-out games. Imo just run the full playset of Field of Ruin and aim for more ”individually strong” cards.
imo your mainboard feels lacking in quantity of both interaction (Fatal Push, Surgical Extraction) and mill-spells (Tasha's Hideous Laughter). I think Fraying Sanity, Scheming Symmetry, and Trapmaker's Snare are all taking up a lot of space in your deck, and taking away your ability to compete.
