Alright, so normally I post something ridiculously long here, walls and walls of text. I'm going to try something new: since nobody seems to read any of that stuff, I'm going to post as little as possible, unless somebody really wants a detailed explanation of every card choice in here.
This is a mill deck - not your average mill deck, but I think it has lots of potential. The drawbacks on every card in here are negated by some other card, but I'll leave it to you to figure out the strategies.
I'm not sure how to end the shortest new deck post of mine, so I'll quote someone else :p:
Any suggestions on how to improve this deck are appreciated.
Thanks
I do like where your deck is going, though: you've got an interesting synergistic concept going on there. I would personally put in a few more than 12 creatures, say, Shriekmaw? I see a distinct lack of removal beyond your sacrifice cards. I would personally take out some of the Weird Harvests for them (it clashes with Mind Funeral).

Just ran only 5 goldfish hands, so what I'm about to say may be completely inaccurate:
Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds aren't terrible. I was surprised too, but they did not slow down the deck as much as I thought they would. Turn 1 Expanse/Wilds is fine - I'd run it over dual-lands. The ramp with Veteran Explorer and New Frontiers is also very solid.
Regarding Weird Harvest - I'd hardly call that a clash with Mind Funeral. I'm normally going to set Harvest @ 2 - that removes 2 creatures from my opponent's library, and it means I'll be fetching double Hedron Crab. The # cards milled via Mind Funeral won't change so drastically just because 2 creatures were removed. Additionally, this is all assuming they do search their libraries - they may not in fear of getting hit with Archive Trap.
Shriekmaw is fine, but I don't think it will be needed. I feel that Noble Benefactor fetching Barter in Blood is fine. I guess you can say I'm running 10 removal spells in here.
And no - I can't afford Glimpse the Unthinkable. I'm normally a very budget oriented player who plays with 25cent junk rares and pain lands. I only put it in here because I thought people would suggest it anyway, and to be honest, I'd rather replace it with something else.
i think BUW works better with that build, since you can use path to exile to trigger the trap
also, you can use oath of lieges, also blue give to you clone, its meh, but cool if you copy crabs !!

I definitely did consider adding White - Path to Exile of course being the star. I suppose UBW is an option, though I'm not sure why it would be better than this particular build. Oath of Lieges is not consistent enough for this kind of deck, and while Proclamation of Rebirth is cool, I don't think I'll have enough 1CMC creatures for it to work well.

also you can have proclamation of rebirth to return the crabs, and oblivion ring to help control the board
beside i dislike the green in deck, i love the veteran explorer + trap
do you think its possible to make that deck UG Mill only ?

One of the reasons I made the deck BUG is the subtle interaction between New Frontiers and Mind Funeral. Although people will catch the New Frontiers + Archive Trap, I don't think they'll catch the Mind Funeral interaction, often leading to a kill. And of course, New Frontiers + Hedron Crab is just absolutely ridiciulous.
