Deck discussion for Lantern Control

I've been playing with mill forever, and can suggest that you add 2 oona's prowler to lock down the fastest aggro faster.
You play the prowler at turn 2, and the bridge at turn 3, and if you would die from a turn 3 attack you just throw your hand away and survive. This is especially usefull against variants of infect that have become immense.

I could definitely tinker with that in the sideboard. I still don’t have a solid sideboard fleshed out yet so I could experiment with that!

I based my version on a 2018 version with whir of invention, and have wondered if it wasn't possible to fix the manabase for it. I constantly let evolution work out my mana for me, so I rarely have trouble with mana.
The RW PRISON (anti mill) is my updated training ground for evolution to work out manabase for my mill, so fixing the mana for that deck would be done pretty fast.

I loved seeing lantern lists in the top before the opal ban, and I have been wondering myself if simian spirit guide could take up that slot, or if something else could do it.

I always have a lot of projects, and my current one is refining the prison deck, but since I use lantern mill with opal to test against it, I could start working on the mana of lantern at the same time. It beat the hell out of the prison design in the first place, enough to make me add phyrexian revoker to the list of possible cards to add to the list.

You could proxy my RW PRISON to test against your own build.
There are 5 cards missing in it and I think it could be + 3 æther vial, + 2 phyrexian revoker to begin with.

So, how did the tests go ?
I do have a 2018 version of whir-lantern where I've always believed a fix to the mana would make it great again.
It seemed less vulnerable to the loss of mox opal than many other variants.

It's my goal to post all my 64 testdecks from 2018, but I can post them in an order that lets people learn something from it.

Currently I'm planning to post the monoblack devotion.
Would you like me to post the whir lantern as a second ?

It's just a weird position overall for this deck based off of the meta. It does have a pretty good Shadows matchup and has decent matchups against Uro so it's been solid enough considering its gameplan.

And you totally can. Doesn't hurt to!

This is my favourite non-homebrew control

Def fun for the person piloting. Not for the opponent wrenching in their chair from lack of gameplay on their part. xD
