Hopefully every card opponent draws after opening hand can be manipulated to be a land or other cards that would not be of benefit at the moment. Need an idea for solid wincon. Adding anymore mill seems like it will make the deck too vulnerable, and milling only a few cards at a time would be too time consuming of a win in a tourney. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For those who know nothing about the way this deck functions, it is fairly straightforward, albeit; with complex plays and strategies. You need a lantern of insight out ASAP. That way you can start lining up cards to mill away. The variety of mill rocks in here is what offers the deck versatility and power, You can eventually make it so EVERY draw you get is a relevant one, and EVERY draw of your opponents will be garbage. After establishing a soft lock, Vengeful Pharaoh can take care of most threats lingering on the table, and combo with raven's crime and life from the loam assure you don't have to worry about any surprises in their hand. After this you can dredge until you hit a Haakon, and knight of the reliquary, hopefully dealing lethal. Gnaw from the bone cast and flashbacked, can almost reset your life total in most cases it you run low, and Nameless Inversion can easily be cast early game to keep you alive, and recast later when Haakon comes out (it is a KNIGHT card lol) Minamo and Academy ruins can easily be fetched back if needed by life from the loam and allows you to get key cards back repeatedly. Noxious revival is the decks insurance policy to get back a needed card quickly or load a horrible card on top of theirs. Please comments are VERY appreciated.

Edited deck to make more use of dredge/flashback effects.
