You could always run Mystifying Maze. I know that its nowhere near as strong of a defense as Maze of Ith but on the flip side it taps for mana which is kind of a big deal for it. I found that it wasn't super frequent that I needed the functionality of the maze so the fact that I could allocate the mana to keep it up if it was necessary but still have a mana producing land otherwise has worked well for me.
I did run a heavier ramp package with Kozilek, the Great Distortion though which might also adjust how helpful it was for me. Once I would get Kozilek in play I would often shift to keeping my hand as countermagic and just turning sideways which would make my utility lands and tap ability effects stronger after Kozilek is set up.
I suspect it comes down to how often you need the effect though as to how that swap would pay out. I found it to be something I used somewhat rarely and so the shift to a mana producing utility land was better for me than a stronger defense dedicated non mana producing land.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
