kamarupa Yes I agree that this is an issue about the deck. So some lands that produce blue mana could be in place. When I come to think about it, since I'm going to be milling myself down to the grave, instants and sorceries and the like that can be cast from the grave could be an idea, now that you mentioned unburial rites. This would make it a flashback deck, and it would barely need to be any rearrangements of it. The artifact Altar of the Lost was the first thing that popped into mind, imagine having like 40 cards in the grave where 10+ spells can be cast from there. Also, cards like Smallpox will let me discard cards from the hand in case I have liliana, death's majesty in play so you're effectively paying one mana with smallpox and then using the ability. Other cards you can play from the grave are cards like Deep Analysis, Divine Reckoning, Feeling of Dread and more. Now that I think of it, the more cards that have flashback, the better.
You seem to be seasoned here on tapped since you know some of the tricks of the trade, like the list you mentioned.Choked Estuary might be a good land. Glimpse the Unthinkable could be good as an addition for milling the deck as an addition to traumatize. Since it gets the cards into the grave in the earlier turns.
For how many lands is needed in the deck, I think you are right about it being good having lots of cheap CMC cards that lets you put a wider range of spells. Because then the deck becomes quicker. As you can see, there's already lots of cheap CMC cards for 2 mana in the deck. However, since this deck is all about slowing the game down and making it harder for the opponent to play things and giving him a hard time playing cards, I think this deck is going to be more heavy-control oriented. So the issue with that could be that it falls off in the late-game when you already the have mana. The solution is obviously low mana drops that have a higher flashback cost which has a good effect. What do you think?
Wanted: Cards with; flashback and/or extort, non-basic blue lands

Quiet Speculation you mentioned, miampizza, & Altar of the Lost. Interesting card I didn't know was a "Thing", i'm gonna think about a deck option with this card, TY. I don't see it really working in here as there is slim pickings for U/B Flashbacks.... but R/U might be fun? W/U???
ideas for in here though, one Is legal Modern, one isn't I think?? Treasure Cruise or Dig Through Time might work in here.
and slight issues with X4 Delver's in here. you are only at 14 spells to flip him and 22 Creat/Enchants + 24 lands, which = 46 that don't. (do you need 24 lands?) Would Serum Visions help a bit more? or I would lower to a 3X of possibly? even +1X Think Twice -1X Delver/Secrets?
I like your Skaab Ruinator in the SB... could you get away with SB 2x Artful Dodge and add in Skaab? (if you do, you should think about Delver suggestion above a little more).
not sure how far you are going with the "Self-Mill", but, Tome Scour, Chronic Flooding? +Laboratory Maniac???
final thought. Chasm Skulker? do you "Draw" enough?
GL, just some thoughts....
