Repeat

Hindering Light and Remand protect your permanents, Path to Exile and Due Respect prevent your opponents from doing too much with their creatures, Gitaxian Probe gives you an idea of what they're likely to do, Serum Visions lets you dig through your deck. All of these also cantrip.

Lightning Greaves is around to give a late Ruin Ghost some speed, and the Greaves and Mizzium Skin are around to protect your Crabs and Ghosts. Disenchant is around to remove Pithing Needle, Splinter Twin, et al. Trickbind and Pithing Needle itself is also there to help with Twin and other such decks, and

Since they don't cantrip/produce colourless mana only, they're considered sideboard options against decks with large numbers of targeted removal/slow decks, respectively.

Niveous Wisps replaced with Path to Exile. The loss of card draw/cantripping is a shame, but dealing directly with on-board creatures is too important.
