I recommended it a while back when you didn't say anything, but I think Asmodeus the Archfiend is as close to explosive card draw to Consecrated Sphinx and Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur that you'll get. Maybe it's too mana-intensive? But BBBB: draw 7 is a pretty strong rate.
So Asmo has some problems but the main one us requiring BBBB to draw 7 / lose 7. This deck is not going to make BBBB ever, it needs to make UWRBG and then UU and WWW.

Jin refuels me 7 for no mana if I make it to my endstep, and CSphinx refuels me 6 if it survives a turn, neither at any life loss.

It's somewhat problematic about Vilis, Broker of Blood too, except that he triggers off of life loss that I was going to suffer anyway and kinda deters people from attacking since non-lethal attacks are going to refill my hand.

Not sure if he's explosive enough for you, but I think given bridge's wording ("card") you could play the walker half of Valki, God of Lies. Bonus that he doesn't totally suck if he's in your starting hand.

Hmm, I don't think that works? But either way I don't think he's quite enough juice.

If your goal is to draw a ton of cards and protect yourself with control pieces, would something like Psychosis Crawler be a decent finisher for you?

It's an interesting thought but really looking for standalone finishers who can close the game mostly on their own. Think Tidespout Tyrant and Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur.
