Heliod, the Warped Eclipse reduces Mystic Speculation's buyback cost to zero; Chromatic Lantern taps for the one blue to cast it, Hullbreaker Horror bounces the Lantern back to hand, and Mystic Speculation returns itself via buyback — the whole loop resets for free each iteration. The opponent-draw condition is the real constraint: the engine is live in most mid-to-late-game turns but dead in an opening vacuum, which means it fits best in a shell that accelerates opponents into drawing cards or stalls until the condition is naturally met.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Any one-mana mana rock that produces blue can replace Chromatic Lantern — Arcane Signet or Sky Diamond both slot in cleanly. The loop produces no mana and no direct win, so pair it with Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries as the closer, or any magecraft payoff like Archmage Emeritus to draw into one.
