with running 4 snaps and the speeding up of the format with the introduction of bloodbraid, i would recommend swapping your cryptics to remands. Most of the time you are counter drawing, and you want to be able to have more options faster, you do lose choice and some late game strength but your early and mid game go up drastically making you a million times more likely to live. Also mistbinds are huge payoff for faeries better than cryptic on most cases try them out if you havn't. Removing a bitterblossom thats hurting you 2 much, turning a kill spell into a counter with a spellstutter under it, tapping lands for sudo time warp, or even a flash 4/4 combat trick and watsing nullifying there removal are all real options with the card, i would try and find room for 2.
