When I started brewing this deck, all I could think of was how janky the interaction between Ghirapur Aether Grid and Clue tokens was. After some extensive testing and live events, I feel this deck actually has legs to stand on. Its obvious weaknesses are the extreme ends of the format (mono-white humans and Gr ramp), but both of those archetypes are being pushed out of the format by decks like GW tokens, bant company, and 4c / GB Rites. This deck severely punishes our opponents for playing piles of X/1's and X/2's, as we can easily mop up their board with Aether Grid. Our massive clue generating engine (thanks to Erdwal Illuminator, Tireless Tracker, and Ongoing Investigation) means we can always at least keep card parity with the grindier control matchups like B/W control, and our Grid prevents them from getting a chance to flip Ormendahl. Confront the Unknown also lets us win games out of nowhere with Lumbering Falls through a Whirler Rogue activation.

Go ahead and give the deck a "whirl" and see how much you like it!

P.S. Fleeting Memories is MUCH better than Sphinx's Tutelage when you consider that you can be sacrificing your clues to Tamiyo's Journal to go find more copies...

EDIT: I top 4'd a PPTQ in Tucson, AZ on 5/22 with this updated list.
