if you like evasion, Ingenious Prodigy is phenomenal. Card draw mixed with skulk, and you get the hydra token, so you don't even need to worry about prodigy's slow burnout, as you still have the hydra.

Andramalech, I extremely appreciate the feedback! :) Your suggestions are nice however most of them probably won't make the cut. Other than potential synergy with Soul-Scar Mage, Adeliz is a bit slow due to it having a cmc of 3. I have Sprite Dragon in my maybeboard which has a similar effect but cheaper AND the buffs are permanent. Also, with Ingenious Prodigy, it was a good thought but it's also slow and requires a higher "X" value in its cost for effective drawing. I have DRC's which dumps my spells into the graveyard for card advantage fueling Underworld Breach. As for Stubborn Denial and Royal Treatment, I have slightly better cards in my sideboard for their type of ability: Flusterstorm, which triggers prowess with storm, and it isn't hard to "storm" it in this deck, and Veil of Summer, which prevents my stuff from being countered on top of the hexproof effect as well as the potential card draw. However, since I currently cannot afford Flusterstorms right now (lol), I will use stubborn denials or Spell Pierces in its place in my sideboard. Scale Up is a cool idea with the prowess effect, so I might consider tinkering with it, but since my mana base lacks green and my deck is more UR focused (most of my green spells have another way of casting) it probably won't make a spot in the deck.

Pretty sweet list, maybe remember that Adeliz, the Cinder Wind exists and could do a lot for your structure. Also, Ingenious Prodigy also exists now. Personally, I'm infatuated with your choice of Elusive Otter and it's a breakout favorite of mine from WOE. Being that your cast gets stronk pretty reliably, I'd say that Stubborn Denial is a worthy slot, because you'll hold up a free counter late game.
