Not a fan of {Pack Rat} at all. If it's only for TC then you should realize that you're filling your GY quickly. I'd suggest -4 Pack Rat +1 Raise +2 TC +1 something else
Maybe cut the {Pack Rat}s for {Gitaxian Probe}s? They fill up the GY and work really well with all of your counterspells and discard.
Probe sounds really painful vs the burn/delver heavy meta considering this deck barely splashing blue and does not use any blue basic atm, because it would further weaken spectral. thoughts on forbiden alchemy, taking a cruise off alchemy, untapping cruising, and maybe mana up for flashing back a lingering off the forbidden seems pretty powerfull. I wonder if it would be stronger to go more temp, like esper delvery and less tokens
You know what I had to do with Polymorph. I had to SB {Azorius Charm} for vs. Delver lol
Also I actually feel like {Dig Through Time} might be better here

I really like dig, but the problem is double blue is really hard to get. I playtested a lot, and heres what I got:
Topdecking a cruise, won the game vs The Rack, drew 2 lingerings and another my other cruise, their ravens crimes, etc were not very good...
control: grinded them out with lingering, and tokens, and disrupted. then landed a cruise with counterspell mana up and ended up winning
I feel like cruise is good vs grindy, control, rack, midrange matchups, but not the best vs things like affinity, or burn. Depends on meta. Might be good sb tech, im also working on a pretty potent esper delver
