Predict

Instant

Choose a card name, then target player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard. If that card has the chosen name, you draw two cards. Otherwise, you draw a card.

How do you untap Candelabra of Tawnos? Being a mono artifact it taps when used so unless there is a way to untap it then you wont go infinite, right? I play Candelabra of Tawnos in combination with Bubbling Muck in my mono black storm deck Doom Zenith to generate big mana but I cant see how you have enough islands or untappers to make it useful here. Maybe take out the candelabra tide combo and replace it with low or no cost draw spells like Thought Scour or Consider. that would help you hit land drops with the low land count and also you could put them in the "anything" spots in the doomsday piles in case somebody beats your Gush or Gitaxian Probe or Predict in a counterspell stack.

The best additions would be Sensei's Divining Top, Scroll Rack and Counterbalance if you want to increase the power of the deck for a little extra money. You can also add Predict.

Hi mtgplayer100! First of all, thanks for commenting. I think Predict is quite good, specially having playsets of Brainstorm, Ponder and Preordain. As I was commenting before, Meditate is quite good while you're comboing off, but basically useless from turs 1 to 3, or even 4 sometimes. I can totally see what Milesfuzz suggests and adding a Meditate to the "wishboard", that should e totaly fine I think :)

The meta I'm facing is quite predictable, I'm playing a local league, with several rounds of opponents. For the next round I expect half of them to be playing Miracles or Control of some sort, and for sure some Delver lists. The Narset, Parter of Veils is absolutely a meta call, I don't think I would be running her (not even in the sideboard) agains an unknown meta. But being so packed with Control I think it's fine! I think after this league I'll be updating the list based upon an unknown meta, and changing it to be more versatile, and not so focused! :D

Thank you both a lot for commenting! It's been quite helpful!

I think Meditate probably should be a playset here. If you go off and fail, you're probably loosing anyway, so might as well make it easier. You could probably cut the Predicts and Narset, Parter of Veils for it. Predict is more like a control card for value later on, and since you don't really have anything to stall with, you want to set up the combo asap. Narset does seem really good, but feels more like a sideboard card here.

Hi Milesfuzz! Currently I'm playing in a local league, and the meta is more or less predictable. There's a bunch of Control/Miracles, some Temur Delver and a bunch of niche things. I think I like Pieces of the Puzzle quite a lot, at least more than the Snap in the main board. I considered Retraced Image but I don't see the meta as very aggressive.

On the other hand, Meditate is interesting! The problem I see with it is that, as you say, you can only cast it as you're comboing off. However I think I like Predict more milling unwanted cards from Brainstorm or Ponder for example, either early game, or while comboing off. It also has the upside of "goozling" opposing Mystic Sanctuary targets and things alike! Which admitedly, it won't come up often enough to justify it's inclusion by itself, but it's a nice upside of the card!

What I was considering these days is which pieces of graveyard hate I want in the sideboard. I think I like Grafdigger's Cage more because of Reanimator and Dreadhorde Arcanist, but stuff like Relic of Progenitus or Soul-Guide Lantern are able to draw cards in a pinch. What to you think?

Thanks a lot for your comment, it was super useful! :D
