Wand of Denial’s flavor text says it best, “You’ll never miss what you never had”

I've wanted to build a deck like this since OG Theros but I think there is enough support for it now. The idea is to take opponents' spells mainly from their decks and use them against them while benefiting from the spells being cast from exile/remaining in exile. I’ll be using mostly cheap vampires to get spells into exile, Vedalken Orrery / Leyline of Anticipation to maximize the number of spells I'm casting each round, Lantern of Insight and a handful of top deck stuff to control what I have access to and hopefully keep the gas going with Maskwood Nexus / Arcane Adaptation / Conspiracy turning ALL creatures ETBing under my control into vampires being discounted by Urza's Incubator and Herald's Horn. Our main goal is to get as many vampire ETB triggers and as many triggers as possible out of Evelyn's second ability (via copying Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Irenicus's Vile Duplication) so that I'm casting vampires as often as possible to get access to more cards.
Some sweet synergies:

1. Displacer Kitten with Mana Echoes (Evelyn lets you spend mana as though it was any color) with Evelyn and any other vampires out as well as any noncreature spell has the potential to chain continuous Evelyn triggers and give me (a lot of setup, I know). Dockside Extortionist has a similar effect to Molten Echoes.
2. Prosper, Tome-Bound, Brainstealer Dragon, Passionate Archaeologist, Agent of Treachery and Wild-Magic Sorcerer all benefit off of the deck if it's working properly. Looking at squeezing in The Lost and the Damned from WH40K for similar benefits.
3. A touch of Blood Token production to work with Inspiring Statuary. Looking to explore this more with Anje, Maid of Dishonor and Panharmonicon (which Evenlyn would also severely benefit from)

Some Concerns:

1. not having any particular flat out wincons, aside from creatures (there was some way I had created infinite creature tokens but I'm trying to remember he setup) and direct damage/loss of life with Brainstealer Dragon and Passionate Archaeologist, when the main goal is to steal other peoples' cards
2. make opponents super salty while I throw their spells that they haven't had a chance to draw back at their face on top of stealing their mana from Mana Drain and Drain Power. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting hated out of games in my pod fairly quickly once this deck pops off once or twice.

Recommendations welcome!

Edit: I finally got to try out the deck and it POPPED OFF. I got Evelyn out turn 2 and managed to get access to something like 30 cards in a few turns. I didn’t have any of my ways to cast multiple cards (Spark Double, Sakashima, Displacer Kitten) and I didn’t have Leyline or Vedalken out to cast During opponents’ turns. Still, I quickly became archenemy so she got removed a bunch. I’m still learning the deck and misplayed a bunch (had access to a counterspell in exile but forgot to use it for example). Back with more updates in a while!
