Out
2 land (for Abstergo Entertainment and Hydroelectric Specimen Flip)
Confounding Conundrum: decent hate piece but very matchup dependent and easy to play around
Narset, Parter of Veils: while a good hate piece, it may not work well in this deck since you sort of want your opponents drawing to speed up your game plan but maybe also you don't want them drawing into interaction, I can see arguments for and against.
Curse of the Swine: It is also sort of an iffy card, like on paper it looks decent but I stopped running it after seeing it rarely made a difference in every deck I played it. I guess it can get rid of a couple of troublesome creatures so like Narset I am iffy on if dropping it is a good idea or not
Chrome Mox: This deck sort of feels a bit slower and I do not think this gives it any extra speed it needs, Mana Vault would be better
In
Abstergo Entertainment (graveyard hate and can get back something useful)
Lantern/Top deck manipulation pieces: maybe a suggested package
Grave hate
Soul-Guide Lantern / Tormod's Crypt / Ghost Vacuum / Grafdigger's Cage
Hate pieces
Wandering Archaic Flip (protection)
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir (protection in your turn) Interaction
Hydroelectric Specimen Flip (protection)
other
Displacer Kitten: Blink Jace for repeated mill and The Ring for protection
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries: works with your game plan and lets you flip the script and traumatize yourself then +1 him and win.

How about Lantern of Insight, Expel from Orazca, Gone Missing, Memory Lapse, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Set Adrift, Submerge, Synchronized Eviction, Temporal Eddy, Totally Lost, Vanishment, and Whisk Away?
TypicalTimmy on Card creation challenge

So I don't really keep up with Modern anymore, although that use to be the original format I played. My understanding is that Lantern Control basically seeks to win by way of advanced knowledge and card denial, thanks to Lantern of Insight.
One good way it could help is by allowing you to keep Lantern on the field longer, for little to no cost to you. So here's my thoughts.
And realistically it's a card that would greatly benefit all of MTG but it works for this challenge, also.
Maybe the cycle of lands can be called something like "Recovery Lands"
{TypicalTimmy is unable to come up with names for land cards; No this isn't just a meme; I legitimately struggle with this for some reason}
Land
You may have {Land Name} enter the battlefield tapped. If you do, return target card with mana value 1 or less from your graveyard to your hand.
: Add or
I'm not sure if they should be subtyped or not. Being able to tutor a Swamp, for example, that you can willingly have enter tapped so you can recur a 1 mv card is kind of absurdly powerful.
Anyway, that should sufficiently suffice, lol.
Sat a while so let's do something fun.
Make a 5 color Dragon. Bonus points for it being non-legendary.

Well, Aven Windreader isn't Pioneer-legal. I was just using it as an example of a similar effect to Lantern of Insight.

There really isn't any Pioneer-legal single card that continuallu reveals topdecks without doing something else, like Dakra Mystic. There aren't that many topdeck-reveal cards outside of Pioneer, either. That's why Lantern of Insight is so valuable in the deck. The only other directly similar card is Wizened Snitches, with stuff like Aven Windreader being a lot less efficient.
I like the idea, I messed around with Modern Lantern Control for a while, but I don't think the cards are there for a Pioneer version. Your Saheeli's Silverwing blink is as efficient as anything else I came up with in a few quick searches. There just aren't that many cards that let you look at your opponent's library without immediately exiling, milling, or somehow manipulating it--Thief of Sanity, Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker, etc. Draugr Thought-Thief is pretty much the only other Pioneer-legal card I can find.

I’m looking to build a rather complex control / prison deck that assembles a Lantern of Insight
control lock while turtling behind Solitary Confinement. I was wondering if there are any commanders / lists people would recommend.

Assuming Commander, Soldier of Fortune is a directly apt choice. Elvish Reclaimer does the job well. Lantern of Insight is okay. Myr Mindservant fits anywhere. Soothsaying is pricy for the effect but acceptable. Turn the Earth does it twice with additional utility. And Weathered Wayfarer is always great.
Whilst I assumed it went without saying, I'll say it anyway. Fetchlands are splendid for many reasons; shuffling is one of them.

You really need Lantern of Insight more than Jace, the Mind Sculptor. The lantern is harder to remove and continuous.
