Slithermuse
Creature — Elemental
When Slithermuse leaves the battlefield, choose an opponent. If that player has more cards in hand than you, draw cards equal to the difference.
Evoke (3)(Blue) (You may play this spell for its evoke cost. If you do, it's sacrificed when it enters the battlefield.)

Consider these elementals as well:
Slithermuse -> refills your hand
Thicket Elemental -> cheats another elemental into play
Territorial Maro -> vanilla 6/6 beater
Dreamtail Heron -> draws a card - replaces itself, you can mutate it on every creature in your deck and it gives your commander, any useless token or elemental flying
Parcelbeast -> ramp and card draw in one card

PSI is really designed with a T1 win in mind and go broader after SB. I played it for over a decace and will revisit it again soon. Here are 2 thoughts right now, I would like to share:
@raccoon808: With Lion's Eye Diamond you can get Echo of Eons in to the graveyard, yes. But sometimes it just feels good to be able to immediately evoke + sac. with Slithermuse or Infernal Tutor with 3 blue floating and then draw 7 with Slithermuse
@Lycheex I like the inclusion of Aeve, Progenitor Ooze for the postboard idea, not sure if you want to play Summoner's Pact and a creature w/ storm which needs another turn altogether though. Maybe we can find something else? ( assuming to maximize a T1 win )

Made some changes. - Coiling Oracle since it costs 2 color mana, and we dont have much lands to abuse his landdrop ability.
-
Destiny Spinner since Rhythm of the wild included now, and also we have Veil of Summer and Cavern.
-
Lotus Cobra for Tireless Provisioner, because elf and treasures are better in most cases.
-
Slithermuse, because depends on opponents hand a lot.
-
Soul of the Harvest, since we have a lot of those effects anyway (i concider Vizier and Augur as those effects also).
-
Stratus Dancer, because it is a 2 mana counterspell just for sorcery or instant. It is good, but free counters are better.
-
Wall of Roots, because 2 mana dork, giving only 1 mana per turn, and it is not even an elf.
-
Hardened Scales, because we dont have much creatures requiring tons of counters (In fact, it is two eldrazi and ballista. Everything else works well without this card), and it is better to have some card which does something useful instead.
-
Exotic Orchard, because sometimes will not give us correct color.
-
Flooded Grove, because filters can be bad sometimes.
-
2x Island, cause we needed 2 more slots.
Now i wanna check how good is Rhythm of the Wild and return Destiny Spinner if it is not. And also find a slot for Ramunap Excavator, since we have 9 fetchlands and Lotus Field

Echo of Eons could be a replacement for Slithermuse , but you would have to have the card in the graveyard in addition to having a blue mana floating. Blex, Vexing Pest Flip makes dumping it to the graveyard easier and I know the main way to do this is through Lion's Eye Diamond , but more importantly, I don't think I want to give the opponent a fresh 7 cards to look for their Force of Will . The deck basically already folds to the card, so I see no reason to give an opponent extra chances to find the card. But perhaps I'm wrong. The deck is already so weak to FoW, that you might just ride your luck a bit more.

Duplicant is a great removal tool - exiling creatures in mono-blue is strong
Meteor Golem offers another removal tool as needed
Glen Elendra Archmage is a good counter tool, that is good with flicker effects but isn't dependent on them
Merfolk Trickster and Jeering Homunculus are good creature cleanup tools
Man-o'-War and Nevermaker are good all around for bounce
Orvar, the All-Form lets you clone flicker targets from instants
Nephalia Smuggler acts a backup flicker effect
Voracious Greatshark is a decent countermagic effect
Tempest Caller can lock out a dangerous opponent without needing to target specific creatures
Shipwreck Dowser is another return instant effect
Slithermuse is great for card draw, and Watcher for Tomorrow digs 4 cards deep
and finally, Overtaker becomes downright abusive if you stack the EoT triggers - you take creature's permanently

Grind Omniscience_is_life Sponge is a little too situational. Especially when trying to spam copies. It could be a good response to other draw heavy blue decks. Inga Rune-Eyes Has been a very consistent draw engine when excess mana is available and a good searching tool otherwise. Crafty Cutpurse I am on the fence on. Its a good answer to the very big Dockside Extortionist and Smothering Tithe meta, but too expensive CMC to warrant a slot in the Deck. Slithermuse is kind of down the same issue of usually I expect to have most card draw because Blue so usually this wont be helpful. I was considering a way to capitalize off of those meta cards aside from countering them, but countering them is probably just the optimal play usually.
Mulligan might be relevant in determining slithermuse value though, and I will consider that after some more playthroughs so thanks for that card!

How has Inga been for you so far? Would a Sponge do better, or is it too opponent-dependent? Speaking of which--I love the Cutpurse , but how reliable is that value? Maybe add a Slithermuse in its stead? Even just so you can say that you have a card called "Slithermuse"? (This paragraph has far too many inquisitives, and for that I apologize XD)
Love the deck, I think you did well with it!
