Take Bryant's list, swap Swarms for RiftBolts, the 4th Chrome Mox for a Riftbolt, and the third chant for a Riftbolt. Test from there. Don't try to make a multi-colored Spanish Inquisition that lacks the key cards, or start with a belcher list missing it's key cards.
Instead take a storm list, and swap out it's protection slots for speed-slots and you'll get the results you want. As a brewer I get the resistance to that idea; but this particular idea is such a small suggestion it doesn't need a paradigm shift, it just needs to see if RiftBolt is good enough. I do think Pact of Negation sounds OK, but it also doesn't work with Gobbos; probably why it's not used.
Criticism: I don't think it'll be good enough. Storm often needs to see it's draw and then go "AH, yes, this is the hand." If you wait to do that, you'll have an easier time going off but you'll be a turn slower in a deck with less protection. If instead you say "I think this is good enough" and you go for it with a Riftbolt, you may draw bad and now you're down a card and a storm. I will say that Riftbolt's use for nixing hatebears seems ok.
