In a situation like this, couldn't you simply cast your rituals, etc. then Infernal Tutor...then while holding priority cast brainstorm with tutor on the stack (skipping the draws because of Leovold but not the discard) and gaining hellbent by discarding whatever lands etc. stuck in your hand to the top of your library?
