More Lantern of Insight?
Modern Deck Help forum

So I'm working on a Lantern control deck and I'm wondering if there are any other cards that function like Lantern of Insight or maybe something that can tutor it before turn 3? The Lantern control combo works amazingly in my deck but I need to get it out faster and more frequently.
Trinket Mage and Fabricate will do before T3 it if you have a Mox Opal out. Beyond that... not sure.

Looking through Gatherer, there is not anything. Closest card I can find is Revelation, which was last printed in Legends. So, you'll need some sort of tutor/card draw then.

GabeCubed Telepathy is the same thing except it doesn't reveal your hand, it's blue, and it's modern legal.
Also, Idyllic Tutor only gets enchantments, not artifacts.
@OP Chances are you're in the classic Esper build? The best you can get is what rothgar13 suggested. Trinket Mage being the best option.
A case could also be made for Reshape if you had another artifact to sacrifice. (Darksteel Citadel, etc)

@Ohthenoises Thank you. I seriously should read cards better.. Totally didn't see the whole hand thing. So let me repeat, there is nothing like Lantern.

Ohthenoises actually I'm running UB Extraction which limits a good deal of what I can do. Trinket Mage looks like it may be my best option for this. Hardest part is using the Lantern and still having room for my Extraction to really be worth while.

Wizened Snitches, Dakra Mystic, or Thought Dissector. That's the best your gonna get without having Lantern of Insight.

Not exactly sure if there are cards like it, but I do know that Ancient Stirrings can help find these cards fast, unless of course you already have it. The only real tutor I know of is Idyllic Tutor, which I am sure is too slow for you. Hopefully that helps a bit?
