Im trying to do a simic self mill deck with laboratory maniac and i need some ideas because i dont have a lot of knowledge of cards , i tried cards with flashback Dream Twist and creatures that work with the graveyard like Ghoultree
You'll want to avoid spells that self mill and go for creatures that do it instead. Several cards do this: Satyr Wayfinder , Splinterfright , and Hedron Crab . Another good card is Tracker's Instincts because it will replace itself. You've also got Gnaw to the Bone for a lot of life. If you have a lot of money, Mesmeric Orb does a lot of work.

Take a look at Dave Humphreys's Madness. This deck was played by Dave Humphrys in the 2003 world championships. The deck is so crazy and it plays itself. But there are a lot of self-mill cards in there as well as cards that like to be milled like Roar of the Wurm and so forth

Laboratory Maniac and Arbor Elf + Freed from the Real + Utopia Sprawl and Pull from Tomorrow combo seems fine, with a Hydra backup plan

Alhammarret's Archive if you have the cash and if you wait two weeks Jace. Wielder of Mysteries is path proof.

So the key here is to get things for cheap due to the stuff in the graveyard. Black might help with this with sacing stuff. I would use cards like Sakura-Tribe Elder It lets you ramp with green, and filters out lands. Its an amazing card. It also ramps by putting another creature in your graveyard, which is also good. Fauna Shaman Will get you the big creatures you want, by tutoring and put creatures you dont want in your graveyard ramping you to get closer to Ghoultree . Also there is a UG Nissa which is worth looking at Nissa, Steward of Elements .
Be sure to let me know if this helps, if you want to go a different direction be sure to let me know

So the idea for fast mill is Golgari Grave-Troll Satyr Wayfinder and Jace's Archivist ( which i havent tried and will replace some narcomoebas ) and retrieve some creatures with some mill is Grapple with the Past , i will post the deck now and you can see if it is good

Forgot that Golgari Grave-Troll was banned from modern instead Stinkweed Imp (have to splash black)

Mirror-Mad Phantasm , Jace's Erasure , Mesmeric Orb , Hermit Druid . put 0 basic lands in your deck if you use that last one.
