I think you might want some more scry effects. Soothsaying can be good, and scales up the more mana you have open. Descendant of Soramaro can help too, if you've got some cards in hand. Notion Rain is another good option to consider that let's you get creatures into your graveyard.

Alright, first off, put in Lantern of Insight. It's gonna make your life a helluva lot easier. In terms of cuts, there are some obvious exclusions you just don't need. Discombobulate, Geistblast, Descendant of Soramaro, and a bunch of overcosted stuff. For a deck like this, you wanna keep that curve LOW.

There aren't a lot of straightforward replacements some of the cards here (particularly time walk) and some might be a little worse and you'll definitely lose some of the synergy, but that doesn't mean we can't keep the game plan. Also this is for the modern format (what used to be extended) and not the current standard. That being said:

Creatures

• Horseshoe Crab/Thieving Magpie - Still modern legal/Surge Mare also works.
• Thornwind Faeries - Prodigal Sorcerer.
• Raven Familiar - Augury Owl/Sea Gate Oracle.
• Rayne - No functional replacement that affects all your creatures/Monastery Siege might be able to serve a similar purpose of making it harder to target your permanents rather than discourage your opponent from targeting.

Enchantments

• Curiosity - Still modern legal
• Hermetic Study - Viridian Longbow/Sorcerer's Wand, though not an enchantment, it functions the same way.
• Soothsaying - Descendant of Soramaro
• Sigil of Sleep - No functional replacement, Gorgon Flail/Basilisk Collar might be a nice alternative here.

Counterspells. This one is a bit tricky as they moved away from the classic Counterspell and there's a lot of variety here and counters have changed a lot. So I'm just going to recommend a few to consider:

Spell Pierce, Negate, Muddle the Mixture, Remand, Archmage's Charm, Condescend, Deprive, Essence Capture, Force of Negation, Hinder, Rune Snag, Wizard's Retort, and Thassa's Intervention.

• Quash and Rewind are still modern legal
• Also Lullmage Mentor can be a pretty good finisher/cornerstone of a counter deck
• Saheeli, Sublime Artificer/Talrand, Sky Summoner can also add some nice value to play counterspells.

Well, that took a bit of time, but I hope this helps.

Where the hell are Naban, Dean of Iteration and Panharmonicon ?

Alongside Arcane Adaptation , I'd suggest also Xenograft for the same effect.

Lullmage Mentor is a must in a wizard deck, alongside Voidmage Prodigy for control purposes.

Izzet Chronarch , Salvager of Secrets and Archaeomancer rebuy your spells! Twice, with Panharmonicon and Naban !

Barrin, Master Wizard loves tokens, as you can sacrifice them to him and remove threats! Galecaster Colossus is maybe the strongest Wizard in tribal commander decks.

Beguiler of Wills loves of you have a high creature count.

Descendant of Soramaro almost lets you stack your deck on need.

Rayne, Academy Chancellor draws lots of cards.

Serendib Sorcerer saves you from tight spots and it's politic.

Future Sight/Descendant of Soramaro/Into the Wilds should help you out here.

As for how to win with Rashmi, that's up to you, because getting free spells is ludicrous enough to win regardless of strategy, so I won't suggest much in that regard.

Cool deck, friend!
