replace millstone with grindstone and remove a few more cards to fit painter's servant. Insta mill entire library for one player, then activate it next turn to kill another player. For defense, blue elemental blast and hydroblast will kill/counter, well, just about anything once servant is in play.
Isn't it kinda hard to play mill in multiplayer? I'm not familiar with emperor, but hitting an opponent with something like traumatize or glimpse (which won't immediately kill him) means you've got a bull's eye painted at you. I can imagine a mill deck offing one player, but it seems cards like howling mine will benefit other players so much while you're trying to kill another player that its unlikely you'll survive long.

Thanks for the suggestions, firstly, emperor is Six man game (two teams of three) and their is alot of rules but in general you want to knock out their emporer before yours dies.
Tramatize is going to be removed because it does say HEY LOOK AT ME, and since this is Dimir like Mill I want to be sneaky.
and Painter's Servant effects opponents as well? I might just cut the Dimir guildleader and maybe Oona what do you think?

Yup. Name red and every card in the game becomes red, including artifacts and lands. Grindstone 'em and mill their entire library in one swoop.
Personally, I'd replace most of the spells with search spells like brainstorm, impulse, and ponder -- so that it looks like you're a bit harmless... until you play the servant and grindstone then kill em in one blow (considering servant costs 2 mana and grindstone costs 1, this should be easy enough to do).
There's already a few decks out there based around it. Check out this:
4x Drowner Initiate
4x Sphinx (mill one from Ravinca)
3x U/B Guildleader
3x Oona, Queen of the Fae
Spells
4x Vision Charm
4x Memory Sluice
4x Tramatize
4x Glimpse the Unthinkable
4x Howling Mine
4x Anvil of Bogarden
2x Millstone
Lands
4x Watery Grave
4x Secluded Glen
4x Reflecting Pool
4x Dimir Guildland
2x Island
2x Swamp

It's vintage and costs an arm and a leg, but it should give you an idea of what they were trying to do.

Induce Paranoia: counter and mill
Remand: bounce and cantrip
Dimir Infiltrator: early blocker and tutor for Glimpse
Relearn: reuse traumatize and glimpse (useful in multiplayers)
Circu, Dimir Lobotomist: control players
Rise/Fall: brings back circu, and slow down opponent.
Dimir Cutpurse: card advantage
Terror: or any removal, to take out cards like True Believer.
