You want some card draw/digs due to the that 1/15 is a pretty slim chance of getting an acension

Well, the odds of getting a 4-of in your opening hand for a 60-card deck are about 40%. But I see where you are going. The card is kind of a necessary wincon, even more so than the non-budget variant I posted earlier.
Option would be to remove {sculpting steel} & {liquimetal coating} for dig effects.  {Dig Through Time} is too costly mana-wise since there not much graveyard interaction in the design. {Advice from the Fae} could work, even if I just have enchantments. Only need one card..

Your in casual so you have access to  {Preordain} And  {Accumulated Knowledge} To draw through and win ... Treat it like a combo deck bc you are comboing

{preordain} looks nice. Digs up to four deep if I'm looking for a specific card, and draws two.
And a lot cheaper than AotF.
Tx for the advice.

EDIT: updated. Cut  {Liquimetal Coating} and one each of {opalescence} and {starfield of Nyx} for 4x {preordain}. I like {sculpting steel} for extra ramp once I get an Obelisk, or just to copy {Blightsteel colossus} ;)
