Well, Aven Windreader isn't Pioneer-legal. I was just using it as an example of a similar effect to Lantern of Insight.

There really isn't any Pioneer-legal single card that continuallu reveals topdecks without doing something else, like Dakra Mystic. There aren't that many topdeck-reveal cards outside of Pioneer, either. That's why Lantern of Insight is so valuable in the deck. The only other directly similar card is Wizened Snitches, with stuff like Aven Windreader being a lot less efficient.
I like the idea, I messed around with Modern Lantern Control for a while, but I don't think the cards are there for a Pioneer version. Your Saheeli's Silverwing blink is as efficient as anything else I came up with in a few quick searches. There just aren't that many cards that let you look at your opponent's library without immediately exiling, milling, or somehow manipulating it--Thief of Sanity, Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker, etc. Draugr Thought-Thief is pretty much the only other Pioneer-legal card I can find.
