Win con for UR mana denial

I'm making a Keranos deck that's designed to tutor for Wildfire and cast it ahead of curve every game, and have the backup of BTB and Blood Moon . The best way to win with this kind of strategy is to be ahead on board, but I'm not sure what to put in the deck to do that other than Keranos.
Keranos Blue Moon is an extremely viable deck and fulfills a weird niche in the cEDH metagame. It can be a combo player's worst nightmare, especially if they're in multiple colors and run Hermit Druid without any basic lands in the deck such as Sidisi, Brood Tyrant for example. However, mono-color decks like Teferi, Temporal Archmage and Yisan, the Wanderer Bard will be largely unaffected.
If you're interested, here is a deck you might find useful, and alternatively here is a video of the deck in action.
My advice is to keep your meta in mind, and try to get a feel for if it will perform well in your playgroup. I was going to make a deck built around this concept as well, but backed out because I realized that a lot of decks in my meta are resilient to the type of hate Keranos packs. Best of luck to you though! Hope this helps!

Here is a list I have so far. How should I win though? I don't want infinite combo I already have a deck for that.

Diver Down I based my list off of that. I don't have that kind of money to spend on cardboard and I play in a casual meta though.

My meta has a lot of stompy decks that want to do over the top things with a lot of mana.

I'm not sure what to tell you buddy. If you're in a creature heavy meta, Paradox Engine and Isochron Scepter exiling Reality Shift can be your best friend. Creatures on the board enable it, and if you're mana neutral from rocks, you can just chain it off of the manifested creature and exile everyones' libraries. Copy Artifact can go infinite as well on Scepter if you don't have engine out either, but you would need to have Dramatic Reversal exiled with either to do so, and you can combo off of really any spell effectively with it, for example you can cast Lightning Bolt infinitely if you choose this package. The deck is so modular that you can have multiple ways to win anywhere in the deck. Infinite combo is the way to go in this type of stax deck. You're not gonna pull off the consistency you'd want if you were to do anything else.

Diver Down Ok. Maybe I will build Tasigur first then.

Cards like Overburden , Storm Cauldron , and Mana Breach all fall into the category of what you want to do, I think. If you are looking to cast Wildfire every game, consistently, then you need some tutors, like Mystical Tutor and Gamble , and if there are others, you need them, too. If you lean too heavily on Wildfire , though, people will figure it out an hold up counters or other answers. Sunder is good, too, if you can run ways to get your lands back on the board.
Other than that, card draw and ramp are your two best friends. Jam in all the good draw you can, and probably ramp with artifacts, like Grim Monolith and Basalt Monolith , Mox Diamond , Lotus Petal , Mana Vault , along with your package Sol Ring and Izzet Signet , and those other staple mana rocks. If you end up going artifact heavy, Metalworker might be worth fitting in.
Good luck with your build. Do you have a list yet you could share? I'd like to see it.
