Treasure Cruise from KTK?

Originally from linsane47 aka jlia47. http://magicgatheringstrat.com/2014/08/faithless-looting-4-catching-mono/.

Idea is to control the board mainly through sacrifice effects (1-sided Innocent Blood feels like cheating). Evincar's Justice with buyback every turn is the inevitable wincon. Drain Life / Consume Spirit to the dome can close things out.

Tuning and Concerns:
1.) Sign in Blood should probably replace some number Probe and/or Deep Analysis. It will get me going faster, and can target the opponent to close out the game in a pinch.
2.) Sacrifice effects are efficient, but all Sorcery speed. Actually, the entire deck is Sorcery speed. Am I going to need Instant speed removal of any kind? Would swapping Innocent Blood for Diabolic Edict / Geth's Verdict be enough? Do I need targetted Instant speed removal (Unmake/Doom Blade)?
3.) Deck feels very slow. Are the more aggressive decks going to be able to close the game out before I can get Evincar's Justice online?
4.) Is Duress in the main 60 a good idea? Definitely 4 in side.
5.) Would this be stronger with a blue core of counterspells instead of Drain Life / Consume Spirit? Would that change allow me to stay ahead on life enough to still win with Evincar's Justice + Pristine Talisman, having no other way to do damage?

-1 Swamp
-3 Drain Life
+4 Victim of Night

Too much land. With the Karoos, talismans, and 25 lands total I'm flooding a lot. 4 drain life effects is enough. They're bad early, and I hate seeing multiples at turn 3-4 when I really need a Doom Blade - so leave the superior Consume Spirit in. Adding victim of Night as a good targeted removal spell at instant speed, double black shouldn't be a problem.
