I believe this is antifascist queer + allies wizard school attempt #71, but who's counting?

1. This was just too painfully slow. I took out Rite of Replication (protection that never got cast) and Grave Lantern (recursion that never got used) for Arguel's Blood Fast (draw) and Grim Tutor (tutor).

2. I also removed the backup combos (Mikaeus, Triskelion, Walking Ballista) for card draw (Nekusar, Bloodtracker) and doubling wizards' triggered abilities (Harmonic Prodigy). Let's try that out.

3. This is so slow I'm getting desperate. I'm swapping out Akoum Teeth (ETB tapped red land with creature option) for Xander's Lounge (ETB tapped but all 3 colors and fetchable).
