Bloodwater Entity is extremely useful here. Its on legs so you can flicker it or copy it. Other topdeck manipulation creatures Omenspeaker Sage Owl Spire Owl Sage of Epityr Augury Owl

Cards that can abuse topdeck being known Psychic Battle Chaos Warp Spark of Creativity Erratic Explosion Prophetic Flamespeaker Abbot of Keral Keep Augur of Bolas Dark-Dweller Oracle Experimental Frenzy

Cards that let you see topdeck Lantern of Insight Goblin Spy Future Sight Magus of the Future

Cathartic Adept and similar mill effects can help you move past undesirable topdeck cards. Gives control when you can see enemy topdecks Pyxis of Pandemonium Ghoulcaller's Bell Drowner Initiate Hedron Crab Jace's Erasure Drowned Secrets Codex Shredder

If you're looking for hard and fast deck stacking, check out Brainstorm Ponder Preordain Serum Visions Index Mystic Speculation Opt Portent Spy Network Trickery Charm Ancestral Knowledge Contingency Plan Foreshadow Information Dealer Omen Predict Bamboozle Long-Term Plans Second Sight

If you're looking for combo potential, Memory Lapse is pretty filthy with putting your spell from hand to top of library, and it raises your storm QUITE A BIT. Hinder can do similar tricks.

Maybe a card like Second Sight , since you were a fan of the idea of adding Diabolic Vision .

Seems like you could use a Contingency Plan to Index the top of the library.

Other cards that let you manipulate the top of the deck are: Sage of Epityr, Mystic Speculation, Sage Owl, Augury Owl, Taigam's Scheming, Second Sight and Halimar Depths <- too slow?

With all the Top Library manipulation maybe you should add some of the miracle spells for control Devastation Tide, Temporal Mastery Terminus until you are able to manifest, flicker, wait a turn for summoning sickness and then get to attack.

Here is a question...What do you have to draw a card on your opponents turn, when it really matters, besides Geier reach sanitarium, and cryptic command. The amazing thing about terminus/top was that it could be used in response to an alpha strike, or lethal on board. After heavy playtesting, and tossing in ransack effects, like Taigam's Scheming and Second Sight I've come to the conclusion that this is the thing our deck is missing. We're lacking draw on their turn

I'm liking Soothsaying and Second Sight for sure. Thanks for all the suggestions so far everyone.

I like Second Sight, because you can also screw with an opponent!
