Looking for cards which display the top cards of opponents' libraries.

Hi there, hoping for some help looking for specific niche cards to help out with this deck of mine.
The deck capitalises primarily on knowing the top few cards of your own library, and to a lesser extent what's on the top of opponents' libraries.
Currently, I'm looking or cards which consistently make visible, at least to me, the top cards of opponents' libraries. Cards I have so far that fulfil this are Lantern of Insight and Psychic Network, and one of these is an Unglued and isn't accepted in certain circles.
I don't know if there even are any more cards like this because it is pretty niche, but I'd really love if somebody could point out a card or two I may have missed.
If it tickles your fancy, here's the deck in question. I'm still collecting cards for it and haven't gotten to playtest it proper, but nonetheless I think it's pretty fun: Topdeck of the century.
If you include the Un sets Yet Another Aether Vortex is also another card that has people reveal their top card.

Well snap, man. It's in an Un set so it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close. Thanks a bundle!
Also still welcoming other suggestions.

Not quite what you're looking for but Telepathy could be useful.

I mean, I'm pretty sure it's not what you're looking for / far out of your price range, but Jace, the Mind Sculptor helps with that.

Memory Lapse and Hinder give you some counterspells to put things on top of their library as well.

Telepathy isn't exactly what I was looking for but looks like a pretty fun card, and I'm already using Zur's Weirding, so it shouldn't be hard to put the two into another fun deck some time. =)
Jace, the Mind Sculptor fits pretty excellently into this deck, but the price is sort of an issue for now, yeah. =(
Memory Lapse and Hinder would be perfect except that I'm sort of paranoid about bringing counterspells in a deck when the majority of the time the opponents know what's in my hand. I think they could be pretty useful in a pretty similar deck though, so thanks - I'll keep an eye on them!
I also got some feedback on the deck's page.
Thanks folks!

Field of Dreams and Wizened Snitches are the only cards that come to mind that have the effect continually.
Aven Windreader and Lurking Informant have abilities that will allow you to see what the top card of a library is.
