The part you're missing here is that it's imperative to mill/extract academy ruins or the game is unwinnable. It's basically a soft lock against you.

Absolutely, the deck takes some getting used to, but I'm excited to here some results when you start running it

Any other questions or details feel free to ask. Those are typically the tougher of the matchups tho!

Yeah that's not a problem, I'll work on that when I get home from work tonight.

I will definitely side them out against decks they're straight up useless against, i.e. tron/scapeshift

Recently they single handedly won a game by preventing a v clique from swinging for lethal. Otherwise they're good chumps and even attacking threats that can be recurred after milling them to an orb. I used to run 4 but settled on 2

Visions of beyond in our deck is already ancestral recall it's absolutely busted. On turn three I recently drew 9 cards for 3 mana and they conceded on the spot. Zero reason to run visions jamming it in the deck hoping to get value off of foretold is a no go

Wall stalls out 8whack, burn, g/b/x, bogles, elves, can be a life saver giving you the time you need to survive and finish milling them out, it's a damn good cantrip for the deck.
Lingering souls drops between 2 and 4 flying blockers which does the same thing, gives you time but can also be an alternate win con (i've won many games off of spirit beats alone). It's also a card to flashback when milled by your own orb.
I agree, scribe is bad and Jace's phantasm is meh, I actually ran it during the GPT but found it useless in almost every matchup (just removed them entirely from the 75). It actually killed a Karn for me once though which was amusing haha.
As long as you're leaving in damnations I don't think running one yahenni out of the sideboard would be bad at all, it's honestly a meta call.
Cheers

Jesters isn't modern playable in my opinion. Mesmeric orb in the 3 drop slot is astronomically better.
Ashiok can be solid sideboard tech, im not personally a fan though.
Dimir charm as a one of isn't bad either

Rox, I highly recommend keeping damnations, they shore up horrible matchups. Whereas yahenni's expertise only makes favorable matchup evens easier. I would cut snaps entirely, snapping sorceries feels awful and you run 8 removal spells already. I playtested them thoroughly and almost never found them useful. I would move bridge to the side. I personally don't like the card and only find it useful against eldrazi, but I can't argue the fact that it's powerful. But it's not a good mainboard card.
Just my 2 cents from the well known mill player everyone hates at my shop (:
