As long as you have an active Oath of Druids and access to just RG...
Trigger Oath of Druids. There will be no creatures in the deck, so everything goes to the graveyard.
In upkeep, flash back Memory's Journey shuffling in only a single Rite of Flame, so that you have something to draw in your draw step.
Draw Rite of Flame.
In main phase, play Rite of Flame with 3 more in the graveyard to get RRRRR.
Using all the mana from Rite, flash back Past in Flames.
Flash back Noxious Revival, putting Black Lotus on top of the deck.
Flash back Gitaxian Probe to draw Black Lotus.
Play Black Lotus and use it to flash back Scrapyard Salvo.
If any of the key cards are already in hand, the sequence only gets simpler (with the exception of having all your Memory's Journeys stuck in hand).
Of course, there are so many choke points to cut this off at, and Scrapyard Salvo demands an abnormally high count of artifacts in the deck even by Vintage standards. Is there any other leaner skeleton that can put the guaranteed full-deck mill of a creatureless Oath to use with just the 2 mana to rely on?

The idea has been around since green's version of memory's journey (forgot the name).
The problem is not being lean.
1) Its your Memory's journey being countered. As of now, if oath resolves, you can win. In this kind of deck, oath has to resolve, then memory's journey, then everything else.
2) graveyard hate kills it, which normally oath would just shrug off.
3) numerous dead cards.
If you want something leaner, flashback a yawgmoth's will, then just storm out.
the memory's journey part reminds me too much of doomsday packages, which feel a little more reliable.

I have always been thinking about creatureless oath since the printing of grafdigger's cage, but if you auto lose to a single Force of Will, then it probably isn't good enough.
