Answer:

I suggest that if you are playing extended, add in some changelings, as they count as allies and will trigger the milling ally.
Well the first issue i see is that your basing your whole deck around one creature. and if you cant get it out right away you wont be doing much to hurt your opponents deck. and other then a couple of your spells for a mill deck its going to be slow enough that you,ll run into problems. my big suggestion is get rid of the white cards in your deck and replace them with other creatures and spells hedron crab for example is a good creature card for a mill deck , and a great first turn card that you can bring out to start the pain right away. ponder -good one mana spell to help you get the cards you need tome scour traumatize (a little mana heavy but good mill card) hopefully this will get you started or give you more ideas for your deck
Way too many cards with less than 3 copies. As a general rule, you want 4 copies of a card in your deck, except sometimes if it is a Planeswalker, Legendary, or costs 5+ mana. With how fast most Magic games end, if you have less than 3 copies, you'll likely not draw a single copy of it in half your games. If you are OK with that, then you shouldn't include that card in your deck to begin with. I could see maybe staying at 2 copies of Rite of Replication, since in this type of deck, you really are aiming to kick it. Kazandu Blademaster and Hada Freeblade are way too good of allies to only run 3 of. If running White at all in Standard, you practically have to run at least 4 Oblivion Rings. Sideboarding some Path to Exiles and/or Journey to Nowhere is a good idea as well. You are really lacking in the control department. Dispel is too situational. A nice design for a card, but in most cases, if you have the mana for it, you'd also have the mana for Negate, which works on a lot more. I'd suggest sideboarding the Evangels if the point is Mill. Maybe even the Raptors as well.
