So I've been tinkering with this deck for a couple weeks now and I i feel like I've made it just the way I want it, but extra advice and help never hurt (unless people are mean about it). So please give me some extra pointers in the right direction and tell me how i did. I thank you for your help. :)

Thanks for your suggestions but I'm curious on what you mean by exploit their graveyard. I mostly need their grave for Consuming Aberration and Wight of Precinct Six so I can use Phenax, God of Deception for his ability. The enchantment you mentioned is also good but i feel like it may be slow in my deck.

I would like to keep it esper. I want to have a decent amount of artifacts and artifact creatures but also have a steady mill game.

Mostly I mean that they might have answers that can be played from their graveyard that you should think about removing. Also, you might consider more cards that you can use to use their graveyard against them. (Such as Dimir Doppelganger)
If you were to put really strong graveyard hate like Leyline of the Void in your deck, there would be no chance of your opponent using their graveyard. Moreover all your mill would be impossible to counter with cards that shuffle their graveyard into their library (as is the case with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn: the opponent just needs one copy in their deck to entirely counter yours). In the case that you would decide to do that, you would want to think about how to replace things like Consuming Aberration that require the opponent to have a graveyard to work.

I would like to keep my Consuming Aberration for his other ability to mill them each time I use a spell and I agree that I should use a card to exile certain cards in their graveyard that I think are dangerous. So if you have a suggestion on a card about that then I would be grateful.

Probably Surgical Extraction is the best card to use to spot remove cards that would either be threats from the graveyard, or if you think they are playing multiples to simply remove all copies of it from the game. It's good because it's inexpensive to play, and you have the option to play it even when you are tapped out.

Moreover, Surgical Extraction does counter Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. (You respond to Emrakul's triggered ability that shuffles itself back into the library. I believe the protection text is irrelevant since it would not be in play.) However, it would not work against Blightsteel Colossus

I gave a couple of suggestions. Probably exploiting their graveyard is a good thing to add, or make sure to have an option to get rid of it so they can't use it to their advantage. Also, Helm of the Ghastlord may find a home in your deck!
