Relict deck advice

Having a bit of trouble with Mill decks, been running this up to rank 7 https://www.playgwent.com/en/decks/guides/404869 had problems with Vypper so I added Lemmens which has helped, I still run into decks that are some hybrid of Mill and Vypper. Instead of cloning multiple Vyppers they'll mill and it's usually suck. Seems like if I run the 1st round long enough to get Lemmens out and deal the the Vypper they've milled enough to shake up the deck (unicorn, selfeater, nekker or book banished) and if I push hard to win the 1st round I'm in bad shape 2nd and 3rd I'm almost always out of cards. I also feel like my locks are usually not very effective, likle the times I use it on engine-specific cards like Ethereal they have a bunch of unlocks. When it is effective it seems like I was already winning anyway and it just increased the ease. Advice welcome!
