I'd suggest something like the blue gear hulk or snapcaster mage. They both recur your instants and sorceries to keep creating tokens. A more budget friendly option could be a set of archaeomancer.
The deck basically needs Gitaxian Probes in order to recur additional Fatestichers so that it can eventually generate mana as opposed to merely breaking even. You should be running the full 4 no questions asked.
True. With High Tide I didn't have issues with that, but it obviously does cantrip, and it's not good in multiples like Probe is.
The deck has no Delve cards so why Mental Note over Preordain? Ascendancy can pitch your Fatestichers just fine so there's no need to mill them.
Great point. The reason is just that I am used to this deck with Treasure Cruise in it, and so when I build JA I just naturally put as many self mill cantrips in as I can. That's an easy sub.

I don't like creatures in these decks, except Fatesticher, because they don't trigger JA. I don't need the buyback, and I can always just pop Summonings if I need to cast more spells for JA in a pinch.

Isn't High Tide both superfluous and potentially a liability given that it increases your probability of fizzling?
I never had an issue fizzling, but I did loot them away more often than not, which isn't the best sign since they're one of my instants/sorceries in the deck. They can help you get over the hump when going off at first, which was helpfully a couple times. Still, they probably are superflous. I'll go back to the ol' Probe and run it a bunch... after trying High Tide, I think Phyrexian mana is the way to go.
