Changes for an AER meta:
Added two copies of fatal push and one Young pyromancer (I replaced two Liliana the last hope and one terminate) I brought in a dispel for a spell Snare. I just have the feeling that a dispel might be very helpful.

Dear Eiyros,
thank you for the fast response and your suggestions.
Liliana, the Last Hope and the Young Pyromancer are always on/off choices. The come in and will be taken out again for my newest spleen. Lili will leave the deck soon again for a slightly more control route.
Furthermore I want to flip my Delver of Secrets Flip most often so I have to keep the count on non-instans and non-sorceries low.
True I mostly play against heavy two drop decks (junk, jund, affinity). Three Spell Snare might not necessarily the correct choice but that spell is imho highly underrated. Time will tell...
Remand is an awsome card. It can set a whole enemy turn back, get rid of Lingering Souls casted of the yard or blowout an Ancestral Vision.
Never considered Peek. I would probably play rather an Inquisition of Kozilek.
You are not the first considering Negate over Countersquall. With two copies of Darkslick Shores it does work out fairly good.
I love Electrolyze AND Forked Bolt and really want to squeeze them in. One will probably find a place for Lili ;-)
Thank you again!
Cheers

I can't believe I didn't notice your lack of young pyromancer, I love him. He gives your good board presence and his tokens are expendable, is run at least 2 and cap out at 3 of him

I like the deck a lot but I have a few questions-
How is Liliana working out for you? She seems kind of questionable in my opinion but maybe she is working out well for you.
3 spell snare is a ton. I'd assume your meta includes lots of 2-mana cards like goyf, terminate, flayer, etc to be running 3 but if not I'd only run 1
Not a fan of remand. It gets very little done.
I would definitely run a fourth thought scour, when probe was legal 3 was fine but now I'd run 4 of it and 4 serum visions
Peek could be a decent inclusion. It's like an instant speed gitaxian probe though you have to pay the blue mana instead of the 2 life
Maybe negate over countersquall? It's easier to cast.
Forked bolt and electrolyze are both great, not sure what your meta is though. If you see lots of lingering souls then I'd include them.
