So I recently just started playing magic again. Sadly to find out that Gitaxian Probe is banned. I want to rework this deck for a stronger mana base and better control. It is basically lantern control with a shuffle and search punish element.

Primary combo

Archive Trap , Bitter Ordeal

Top Deck Control

Psychic Surgery, Lantern of Insight, Ghoulcaller's Bell

Shuffle Elements

Path to Exile, Extirpate, Bitter Ordeal, Invasive Surgery , Surgical Extraction, Lantern of Insight, Ghost Quarter

Search Elements

Lantern of Insight, Ghost Quarter

Land Control

Ghost Quarter, Bitter Ordeal, Extirpate, Surgical Extraction

All of these cards have a unique synergy that cause players to fear using their own decks. Questions start to arise. What do I put in my graveyard? Should I use my fetch land? Should I search my deck for that basic? Every move becomes a punishment. It is especially brutal if you Snapcaster Mage an Archive Trap into a Bitter Ordeal.

I need help improving this deck. Primarily mana and card draw are a concern now since I can't use gitaxian probe.
