I would suggest trying to play the deck a lot faster, mainly by doing all of the following:

  • ditch those high mana (3-4cmc) cards that aren’t necessarily needed for your plan. Xorn is probably “win more”, and both Flameshadow Conjuring and Big Score feel like they’re too costly.

  • focus on ensuring the combo can be assembled quickly. I’d say ditch the Fog, as its realistically not helping you with your plan at all (it buys you a turn, but costs you a card, so generally net-neutral on value). Faithless Salvaging might be useful for assembling the pieces. I’d also suggest some mana dorks to help you enact your plans a turn or two earlier.

So i guess my advice is to cut-the-fat, and try streamline yourself for as fast a win as possible.

The big issue i see you facing is that the deck needs to have drawn a lot of very-specific cards to operate the combo, as well as needing a lot of mana to do everything quickly… i’m not sure you’ll be able to achieve both of those things, so it may be the case where you have to choose between being “fast and inconsistent”, or “consistent but slow”.
