This is actually to slow for the current legacy meta. And you missed one key part of the combo and that's using fetch lands ponders ect to shuffle your library to get the right card on top. Also goes well with standstill because normaly if you counter a spell with standstill in play standstill will go on the stack with your spell and you opponent will draw 3, but you arnt casting anything with this combo.

Yea I use the fetch lands to shuffle if I can't find the card the first go around.  {Brainstorm} works great to if you have the same CMC in your hand.

Few years ago this was decent, it's just too hard today to effectively control the meta with this combo. Your oppt has to be really far behind for you to be able to control them. Isochron + orim's chant with permission to back it is a more powerful lock than this, IMO. Trinisphere + tangle wire hurts harder too. Idk. Wash a fan of this, never had much trouble competing against the countertop decks. And yes, standstill is a massive amount of pressure
On your oppt, and the combo would be significantly hampered not having standstill up.
