Sorcery
Look at the top seven cards of your library. Put up to two land cards from among them onto the battlefield tapped. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Draw Wincon deck V1.1
10 months ago
I’ve seen a few Laboratory Maniac builds floating around (I think I may have one myself, I can’t recall) and one thing they tend to have in common is that they’re almost always entirely geared toward triggering the wincon as quickly as possible.
You have many different things going on in your deck that either inch slowly toward the Wincon (Bamboozle) or don’t contribute toward it at all (Cartographer's Survey).
Offering specific suggestions is slightly difficult as you did clearly state you built this using cards you have access to (perfectly understandable), so instead I can offer more general advice. You’ll want to either find a shell that can win on its own that you can seamlessly integrate Laboratory Maniac into (preferably something like Dredge or Mill, which could feasibly work toward that wincon), or else cut anything and everything not related to your goal and build strictly around him.
Cards like Demonic Consultation, Tainted Pact and Leveler are all ones you should be looking into, cards that more or less vaporize your own library immediately and can trigger Laboratory Maniac on the spot. I think Demonic Consultation is Restricted in Vintage so that can only be a 1-of, but I’d run the others in playsets if you go this route. It’ll be glass cannon territory so speed is of the essence.
