Currently on the cutting board: Consecrated Sphinx and Krosan Grip.
Notes: Both of these cards do things that I believe costs too much mana. At the end of the day I still need to preserve my game plan, and for that I need good cards that quickly ensure that I am either winning, or protect me long enough to win. Con Sphinx has long been a card I ran because I felt I had to, due to how good it can be. But rarely has it been anything more than "draw 2 cards or get stolen/copied," or just a pitch to FoW. When a better card comes along, it will be one of the first to cut.
Krosan Grip (K-Grip) does the same thing as Nature's Claim. The Split Second has been less useful than I'd have liked. I also have two tutor targets for artifact/enchantment removal (Caustic Caterpillar and Rec Sage). Four instances of artifact/enchantment removal has at times been too much. Cutting one for better removal (potentially Beast Within) or a card to speed up my wincon would likely be better.

Hello! I've been playing Momir Vig for the past few years and had a few questions regarding your deck as, at first glance, it feels much faster than my current version:
A. By what turn do you normally win on - AKA how fast is your mana acceleration?
-- Why I'm asking: the deck I run has a few more elves for ramp (and Collective Voyage which is pretty much a Win-Con in the deck). It also has Dream Halls and Selvala's Stampede to cheat out Omniscience.
B. How many people do you normally play against?
C. What is/was your experience with Lighthouse Chronologist like?
-- I will normally run Momir Vig into Rashmi. See a turn pass over everyone then drop Seedborn Muse, free-casting Fathom Mage who then searches up Teferi, passing turn with 2 extra draws, then dropping Teferi on the opponent's upkeep to draw a 3rd card.
My version does run more Seedborn Muse effects (Awakening, Vedalken Orrery, Leyline of Anticipation and Arboria - the later was found randomly and is stupidly funny).
D. While you run Glen Elendra Archmage, have you tried adding in Master Biomancer? This creates a near-constant protection against non-creature spells.
