Surprised nobody's mentioned Noble Benefactor. Outcome #1) "Oh you tutored something? Ok, I'll search for an Archive Trap and mill you for 13." Outcome #2) "You don't want to get milled so you didn't search for anything? Ok, I'll tutor a Jace, Memory Adept/Sanity Grinding/Twincast/Brain Freeze.

Excellent with Path to Exile, Ghost Quarter, and Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's Emblem. Especially in Multiplayer.
Fetchland? Okay, everyone mill all your decks.

Best possible play in a mill deck?
Let's say you don't know what kind of deck you're playing.
They play a land. Maybe a fetchland (it's modern. I haven't seen a deck list that doesn't have a few of those in there).
Upon the searching, you Trap them, revealing their deck strategy.
"Oh no... They got Tarmogoyf's in that deck". You think.
"You idiot," your rude opponent would say. "Now I've got a 6/7 Tarmogoyf coming out next turn".
"Oh right! I am so stupid. How could've I not foreseen this backfiring?" (revealing the following card).
Shock and terror erupt, you throw up a middle finger to $100 cards.

In my epser coloured control/mill deck, my opening hand was Plains, Path to Exile, Marsh Flats and 4 of these. My opponent played opened with a Raging Goblin and pinged me for one. I pathed his creature, he searched up a land, and I then milled him to death.

Particularly amusing because the search lands were recreated too. First turn: Opponent draws 7, plays search land. You triggered my Archive Trap card!x4: mill for 52. With the 1 card they took with the search land, that makes exactly 60 cards.
So that's why it's 13 cards, for those who don't know.
Anyway, you don't need to have 4 in your starting hand. It's basicly an improved Glimpse the Unthinkable.

a nice card, dangerous in standard, deadly in limited
if you think about it, that is 21 cards out of their deck 7 for hand, 1 for searched card and 13 for this, that is a little more then half
in standard, it is simply another strong mill, there is already a good number of miller cards, nemesis(10), tramatize(half the libray), mind funeral(4 lands+everything inbetween), memory erosion(2 per spell opponent plays), hedron crab(3), telemin performance(at least 1 and you get the creature), tome scour(5)
and yeah, an opening hand with 3 or 4, is just about game turn 1
