I follow the 75% rule in my decks in that the power level is 75% of what it could be. I know that by making the commander Phenax, God of Deception and tuning it to that, that the deck would be significantly better. Here's the list (the list is from X-Mage to deckstats to here is there any way to sort to format easier?);
Seems like a pretty interesting list. It's always good to see another mill player not taking the obvious Phenax, God of Deception route.
I highly recommend Sadistic Sacrament for Mirko especially. EDH games tend to run long, and SadSac can really seal the deal with a player, taking their lands then flipping the rest over with mirko. The same could be done with Mind Funeral or Mind Grind. If you're swamp heavy, Nightmare Incursion can do the same thing. Both are great on their own even without using Mirko, though they are mean cards and can draw some heat. Really sticks it to combo players though!
So in my budget IRL version of the deck I run both Sepulchral Primordial and Spelltwine but online with this deck a lot of the decks I play against don't run a ton of creatures worth regenerating and dropping 7 mana for a 5/4 intimidate and 3 1/1s with abilities I can't take advantage of is suboptimal with extract from darkness and beacon of unrest being a bit more versatile. With Spelltwine; Memory Plunder, Diluvian Primordial, and Chancellor of The Spires feel better (with a similar effect and added bonus) especially when my target for the spells is usually a board wipe or some ramp spell.
On Sadistic Sacrament and Nightmare Incursion I'd prolly choose Incursion as it's 4 mana less and I run Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and always fetch it first with tutors. These cards seem amazing in any deck running black and anything easily hosed like Graveyard based decks for taking out gy hate let alone lands.
From the games I've played the way I win is resolving a 40/40 Consuming Aberration with Filth in the Graveyard. And a resolved Rest in Peace is usually grounds for a concede.
