I kinda had the thought that Laughing Jasper Flint and At Knifepoint is a slow burn mill out win condition if you can control the opponent's deck from there. What would that look like maybe?

Not sure what black red can do against blue ish control, but maybe Return the Favor is slightly better than the average useless cards?

Other than that I guess you need a mix of removal, preferably at instant speed to trigger crimes on the opponent's turn for Knifepoint. So stuff like Sheoldred's Edict or Bitter Triumph.

Sweepers that are kinda one-sided too even if they have limitations. Gix's Command or Caught in the Crossfire or Rush of Dread. Maybe Massacre Girl, Known Killer makes all the Knifepoint mercenaries as Wither threats.

I'm fond of Generous Plunderer as a ramp tool, also commits regular crimes. The treasures turn on Spree modes pretty well and can keep the land count a bit lower.

Deep-Cavern Bat of course. Mercenary pumping is a thing too if you need the lifelink.

Tinybones, the Pickpocket and Kaervek, the Punisher maybe are good support for what the deck wants to do.

Hard to say if this is good enough. Can't deal with artifact or enchantment threats at all really.

Also could maybe use better card selection tools? Maybe something like a Caustic Bronco or Unscrupulous Contractor or The Celestus but hard to say what exactly. Not sure what to take out either for it.

I don't know if you can really call this control. Maybe it has to push into blue for actual counterspells and maybe Marchesa, Dealer of Death.
