Two important notes before I continue:
-Nest allows you to play Konrad for BB and effectively ramps you to not pay colorless on any card provided you dedicate to self-mill.
- Exiling creatures from your yard with Nest to generate colorless Mana triggers Konrad to ping.
The premise of this type of deck is to mill yourself using etb creatures... Ur merfolk secret keepers, wall of lost dreams, mire Triton, Gorging Vulture etc. Now that you have a graveyard with 10-20 cards you can go ham with Nest/Konrad and possibly Nethroi Apex of death.
It is very easy to ping for 15+ damage on turn 5 by casting Konrad for BB with Nest on the field. Exile the creatures with Nest and boom, damage. In magic Christmas land you have bbbbg lands, and mutate Nethroi onto Konrad for BBG and exiles. Remember, your bringing back a bunch of small cheap self millers which in turn, causes even more Konrad triggers from whatever creatures you mill.
The icing on the cake is that your not just double pinging with Konrad/Nethroi... You're draining, and if you ever pull it off... It's a 50+ Life Drain combo on turn 5 in a deck with plenty of chumpers like walls and deathtouch.
The only other non creatures I included was Tamiyo for obvious self mill and recursion reasons.
It's not finely tuned but it hits hard and is fairly resilient
But also there are already lots of easy ways to self mill and empty your graveyard before Titan's Nest.
Self mill has more reliable and very quick decks available already, Usually winning with Thassa's Oracle and Self-Mill Jace.
I have doubt about this deck. The red flags for me are the words "magical Christmas land" and "turn 5".
It's actually the opposite of resilient, for the same reasons other self mill decks are. A single counter spell or a reasonable aggro deck are all this needs to collapse.
EDIT: I played FNM standard in paper and mythic in Arena. I'm very much aware that the next few months are going to include some brutal decks, the bar is going to be set high. I've got more hope for Song of Creation breaking things than Titan's Nest.
Assuming hitting all land drops and playing on curve. You waste a turn playing Titan's on turn 4 (you now have 3 cards in your hand on the end step, if you're on the draw)
Then you play Konrad for BB on turn 5. Leaving you with 3 mana and 2 cards in hand to somehow mill and exile 10 creatures to win.

Merfolk Secretkeeper is your deck list doesn't work, because you spelled it as a plural. Also its Mindwrack Harpy with a 'W' in 'wrack'.
