Was once a casual deck built for kitchen table magic, now being optimized for FNM competitive play. Seeking help on how to best optimize the deck!

Combo:Infinite manna with Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake , or Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker instead of Deadeye (Archaeomancer can also be replaced by Mnemonic Wall or Scrivener).

Pair this with Sphinx of Magosi to draw until I get to Blue Sun's Zenith, draw my deck, then mill everyone out in a single turn.

Ideally I would have Laboratory Maniac in play at this point, in case someone tries to disrupt me, I simply mill myself instead and win off of that trigger.

As of right now, I have several artifacts/enchantments that allow me to draw extra cards, and a Proteus Staff to allow me to turn my drakes off Talrand into my combo pieces.

Any and all suggestions on how to improve the deck would be greatly appreciated!

Note: Maybe board contains cards that have been suggested that I think I will be adding, but do not own yet.

Note 2: Side board includes cards that I would love to include in the deck, but are currently out of my budget.

I have updated this deck, and no longer have this exact list, however, since I love this brew so much for casual games I will keep this one uploaded. Please visit this link for my newer version: https://www.tappedout.net/mtg-decks/talrand-the-spawn-of-satan-20/?cb=1525826902
