After looking at a number of builds I've settled on a few optional "pieces".

I like, with the current meta having the 1 maindeck spell bomb, and with Snap Caster and Gearhulk the spellbomb is a little more forgiving than Relic. It is also yet another target for the now amazing Trinket mage who is good enough in this deck to almost finding room for more than 1. I think if you had a second Ballista and your meta warrented a second maindeck spell bomb than you should work in the second mage for sure. We're sticking with one.

Besides that minor inclusion, and besides the typical "Draw-Go" Cantrip-Tron style of this deck, another trick it has is with gifts ungiven. Gifts fetches you, Academy Ruins, Buried Ruin, Crucible of worlds, and Mindslaver, or any of the 4 you don't have already, but when it fetches those 4 cards, watch your opponent sweat as he/she decides which 2 cards!

With the Gifts plan I really wanted another way to get stuff out of the yard and into my mitts, an instant or sorcery preferably. I scoured all Modern blue cards looking and found nothing and I was sad - and all of a sudden it hit me - Noxious Revival. Not only is it a make shift Academy ruins for your slaver for a turn but it also helps get ruins itself if all the cards above somehow end up in your yard. 1 peice is all you need! With Snapcaster and Gearhulk you could always do it twice before your draw step.

Edit: Major increase to Maybe board as I'm testing a Trophy Mage. Currently adding a Storage Matrix (Ensaring Bridge doesn't work well as we normally have too many cards). I'm also strongly considering a Sword - war and peace perhaps but any of them really. While our creature count isn't high we now have 4 mages (counting snapcaster) and sword is a great way to turn them into real threats, that said, that is also part of Battersakulls purpose, and Matrix seems pretty good at the moment. More testing needed!

Enjoying the deck so far - interested in your thoughts.
