Why not mana drain? It's a counterspell and helps with your mana curve!

Evil Grin

And sigil of sleep is better ... I thought another spell could be taken out for hidden strings.

I have it ... Loose Lips!

Sentence = She sells sea shells by the sea shore.

Hidden Strings doesn't directly combo with your Tims ... I will keep looking!

Maybe you can glean the type of deck organization that is optimal (not required) from here!

Seems a little scatterbrained. I will name cards that seem out of place, than suggest some that you really should have.

Out of place:
Charging Badger - no evolve
Drakewing Krasis - no evolve
Kraken Hactchling - no evolve, okay defender though.
Nessian Demolok - no evolve
Wall of Frost, no evolve ... are you sensing a pattern?
Wasteland Viper

Beautiful (Budget) Simic Cards
Vorel of the Hull Clade
Renegade Krasis
Bioshift

No, keep Dichotomancy. Replace counterbore!

As for making it more effective ... that's really what hidden strings does! All you need is a tad of ramp ...

Love the deck. There's no school like the old school. I would like to see hidden strings.

Plus, Nykthos allows you to use most stolen enemy creature's activated mana abilities!

So true! Great suggestion.

The mana curve is kinda high ... echomage for the lulz?

Hands of Binding and Hidden Strings might be very useful. Especially the latter. If you tap 2 creatures, then attack, then tap 2 more permanents .... that's for Dichotomancy. Hidden Strings also can give you more mana by untapping your lands.

Well Mr. Spammer met the Banha- ... wait, where did I put it!

He works well with everything with +1/+1 counters.

Oh ... dearie me. I think Master Biomancer and Mycoloth want to be in that deck ...

I salute you sir. Do you think you can fit a Mycoloth in there?

Multi-purpose counterspells of note:

Force Spike
Counterflux
*Mana Leak
**Counterspell

*Best on a Budget
** Prince of Counter Magic (The King is Mana Drain)

The card is here for the title.

Thank you for your advice.

What do you think about Cathodion? Should I bring another Vedalken artificer?

Even if it doesn't ... 13 mill for 0 mana is nothing to laugh at.

The other version if act for treason is much cooler. The one with the crazy angel.
