most of the wizards you mentioned (and some other) are in there just to fill while i get other cards.
Ringskipper
is replacing Aphetto Alchemist
Realmwright
is replacing Enclave Cryptologist
Disruptive Pitmage
is replacing Patron Wizard
Omenspeaker
is actually really useful in early game, and because of azami it is not a dead card in late game either.
Dream Fracture
is a card i like a lot, and i will probably try to get it at some point, but i don't think it will replace Dismiss
, i would rather take out Dismal Failure
i play Memory Lapse
because is a 2 mana counterspell and it also helps me with the point system we use at my lgs.
i used to play Spell Burst
on a early version of this deck, but it was never really useful.

Isn't Graceful Adept superior to Enclave Cryptologist ?
I'd replace both Dismiss and Dismal Failure . Dream Fracture and Rewind sound like better options.
Well, that being the case with Memory Lapse then why not Isochron Scepter ?

not really, they are different. i like having 1-2 cmc wizards because they help me curve into a turn 5 azami with 3+ wizards already in play.
i like Graceful Adept
and i have been trying to make room for her, but all my 3 cmc wizards have been doing really well.
i already run Rewind
. i would probably take Dismiss
out if i get something like Remand
, but it will stay for now.
i dont really like Isochron Scepter
in this deck right now. i don't run too many low cost instants, and the only ones i think are really worth imprinting are like Memory Lapse
, Counterspell
and maybe Mystical Tutor
.

I think too many wizards have enter the battle field effects. Once on the field there useless other then being used as a draw source with Azami. Wizards with abilities that can be used at any time give better utility in the long run.

I don't think that's a problem, they all replace themselves once azami hits the battlefield. and even without azami they can still be useful with Aphetto Grifter
/Sigil Tracer
/Information Dealer
/Patron Wizard
(once i get it) and they can even be sacrificed to Barrin, Master Wizard
if needed.
Most of the wizards with good activated abilities (Riptide Director
/Echo Mage
/Arcanis the Omnipotent
) are too slow imo.

how about a Xenograft and Talrand, Sky Summoner ?

I think it's a fun idea, but Xenograft is useless without Talrand, Sky Summoner and my meta is kinda competitive, so it probably wouldn't work. i would play it at a more casual table though.

+1 from me.
I'm curious about some of the wizards you chose... They seem to be somewhat unimportant to your grand plan. Stuff like Ringskipper (how any times do you win the clash in a deck where your average cmc is below 3?), Realmwright (it hardly matters with so few non-islands), Omenspeaker (scry sounds like a strategy with little impact here) and Disruptive Pitmage (most of the time your opponent would be able to pay 1 more mana)... Low CMC maybe?
Dismiss is fun but Dream Fracture could be better for you since it has a 3cmc instead of 4cmc. Memory Lapse is fun but I find it far more interesing if you have an Isochron Scepter , Otherwise it'll just delay your opponent a turn. I might prefer Spell Burst due to the buyback cost...
Very interesting deck, though.
