Apostle's Blessing looks like a waste of space, you only have 1 creature. Mesmeric Orb might help.
Bless can protect artifacts as well.Orb could backfire... I would have to experiment, I play Alter to capitalize on the majority of permanents in the deck, playing the Orb could be worse for me than them.
Sorry, forgot it can target Artifacts too.I've played against the Orb many times, and it works. Remember, the opponent is the first to suffer from the effeffect of the Orb AND you're milling with many other effects.
Lantern control looks fun however I have a few issues with the deck, mostly with the land base. 2/3 of your lands enter tapped, yes the scry is nice but the likelihood of you casting a spell turn 1 is slim and is limited to a 1cmc artifact. Visions of beyond and surgical extraction work well in a mill deck.
I completely agree with KJSJ3 on the mana.To reliably play ensnaring bridge you need a minimum of 21 lands so only 18 lands will slow down the bridge.Also, since most decks like burn, affinity, infect and other fast beats can kill at turn 3-4 most of the time you also want to be able to empty your hand down to 0 fast enough so that they wont hit you. (Infect goes as fast as turn 2-3)Archive trap will lock down your ensnaring bridge unless you play against someone really dumb.Lanternmill evolves around being able to avoid being beaten to death, so focus on making the bridge count.Since most of your deck involves artisfacts you might play simian spiritguide which both empties your hand and generates mana to play stuff faster, especially the bridge.Protecting the bridge will also be an issue. Apostle's blessing is one way to do that, and it will play well with simian spirit guide.Surgical extraction will also thin out your hand faster, and will help you remove stuff that tries to take out you or your bridge.This strategy leaves 3 cards as unplayable. hedron, trap and path.Try out replacing them with 4 simian spirit guide, 4 surgical extraction and 4 dismember and see how the deck behaves.Also ditch out codex shredder and use pyxis of pandemonium to remove those pesky emrakul's...
