Remands and Gitaxian Probes combo especially well to get an easy and aggressive 3 ice counters if we happen to see them together. Remand in general seems really powerful as an enabler for TITI, and I think we want the full 4. Spell Pierce gives us some needed interaction with non-creature spells, in a less restrictive form than Dispel or Spell Snare, at a pretty key CMC 1. Downside is it can fall off a bit late (which we're prone to go), but with all the Remands and Snapcasters it becomes possible to still get late-game value out of them by combining spells. After some initial playtesting I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Having a slightly larger creature count also has the benefit of offering more cards that DO something than if we went a bit more all-in on the cantrip plan to flip Thing and Delver. This leads to some interesting sequencing decisions where if you have a creature-heavy hand, you can run out Thing early to draw removal away from the more standalone other creature threats that'll follow, knowing that you won't be flipping Thing any time soon. Alternatively if you have the Thing, Gitaxian Probe, Remand hand, you can lead with some other creature first to try to draw out removal before going HAM with a T3 or T4 Thing flip.
