Seems like Living Lore might be playable alongside a Dragonlord Kolaghan Dark Petition Ever After combo if I can find a shell that works around it.

So it seems like the general pattern for success with this deck is this:

On early turns, aggressively fill the graveyard with Tormenting Voice and Epiphany at the Drownyard. The goal is to enable spell mastery for Dark Petition later, and also to get into the graveyard something good for Living Lore to animate, like a Dark Petition or a Pore Over the Pages. Don't be tempted to discard a Drownyard Temple without thinking. A 5 mana spell is the best choice, and one of the creatures is the next best choice. And you need to hit your land drops on time as you're very vulnerable early. Sometimes when you give the opponent an Epiphany choice they won't realize that you want the spell in your graveyard and the land in your hand. Sometimes you just Epiphany for 0 hoping to dump a spell or creature into your graveyard or to enable surge on Crush of Tentacles or Fall of the Titans .

Middle turns are mainly about trying to not die to the opponent's threats by making due with whatever control cards we can pull from the toolbox. Radiant Flames or Languish or Ruinous Path or Crush of Tentacles. Adverse Conditions is perfect for this game plan because it's a two-for-one control effect that buys a couple turns plus helps ramp to the top end combo.

Chandra, Flamecaller is best for it's 0 ability, because that helps fill the graveyard with a Living Lore and a haste=granting creature like Dragonlord Kolaghan or Olivia, Mobilized for War, and also dig into an Ever After or a Dark Petition that can tutor for it. Once you have that set up, casting the Ever After puts the haste creature and the Living Lore into play, which ideally pulls a Dark Petition you attack with haste, sac the Lore to cast the Petition to tutor for the Ever After again for the next turn. Once the opponent is softened up, having the Lore pull a Chandra's Ignition instead could be a big finishing blow.

The deck is pretty wonky and difficult to avoid many wrong play decisions, but it seems to be holding its own in testing once you get the hang of it. It's definitely not top tier though.
