Dimir Tempo deck - Format Modern

Tempo deck trying to use versatile and potentially scaling cards. No Orcish BowmastersGC build. Deck is something between flash and classic midrange build.

With Psychic Frog as a card draw engine and scalable thread. Kaito, Bane of Nightmares as hard to counter / remove thread and one Murktide Regent as a finisher (and can be strong vs mill).

There is Snapcaster Mage to use cards from graveyard and can enable Kaito. Subtlety as possible mana free spell for tempo play and potentially Kaito enabler as well. Wan Shi Tong, Librarian is nice card advantage and again can be Kaito enabler. Brazen Borrower is nice bounce spell / flash creature and the target to pickup with Kaito.

Scalable card Quantum Riddler as early game draw spell and late game finisher. Has nice discard / draw combo with Psychic Frog. Excellent card selection spell Consult the Star Charts which scales with your land drops.

Versatile help card Cling to Dust is nice small grave hate, potential draw cantrip or life gain (and each of that can be relevant). Thoughtseize for basic hand disruption.

Counter magic selection: Counterspell, Force of Negation and Spell Snare.

Removal selection: Fatal Push, Sheoldred's Edict, Strategic Betrayal exile effect and grave hate.

Utility or spell lands like Otawara, Soaring City and Sink into Stupor.

Prefer to use Darkslick Shores over Gloomlake Verge.

Notes to sideboard:

Graveyard Trespasser works well as another thread, potential for 2 for 1 exchange, grave hate + life drain.

Ashiok, Dream Render is grave hate and turn off deck searching (nice vs Titan deck for example).
