May aswell add Desolate lighthouse to loot for your swans and assaults, its a land afterall. Apart from that maybe cut some lands for cantrips like Serum visions

The combo's fragile enough with the Swans still in it. Desolate Lighthouse seems good, but may make paying for Seismic harder. Cantrips, NO! But, Dr_Moosh knows that already :-).

I think having 12 non lands is a bit much but having 4 swans I suppose is good.

ilagirl, yes, Desolate Lighthouse is a land, but I really need that 3 red mana for Seismic Assault, and Lighthouse can only do colorless. And I can also draw plenty of cards once I get out Swans ;).

Tinselteeth is pretty right on everything he said ;)

Bnon, it is a little risky, but I have tested with other things and even having up to 15 nonlands is decent, cause Swans draws a lot, and can dodge nonlands, and that is why I run 4 Swans :)

But if you never draw your combo pieces you instantly lose, you should be guaranteed RRR especially if you have fetches to include. Mana fixing is so good in modern people often play cryptic command along side tectonic edge

Doesn't this deck lose to any counter magic?

Would adding in dispel or negate be good? I know its bad to not hit a piece of your combo with treasure hunt but it seems you lose to one mana leak or cryptic command or negate spell snare your treasure hunt, or even remand sets you back a whole turn spell pierce counters your combo

ilagirl you mulligan until you get treasure hunt and loot house does nothing you expect to win by then.

You win with Treasure Hunt 98% for sure unless you get really unlucky or they have a counter

I don't think the deck is supposed to be super consistent. It's supposed to be really good when it works, and occasionally break down. Almost like Amulet Bloom, but worse.
