Give Aetherize a look. Definitely would work towards your "Who needs friends" deck. ;-)

I like that, although would you suggest it or AEtherspouts? It's one more mana but it really wrecks their tempo.

Also, what would I take out for it? I'm really looking for opinions on what should come out.

Get rid of Sol Ring and Guilded Lotus. You don't have too many high cost spells. Besides, there are only these two which is unreliable in a 100 card deck if you really ever needed it. Also take out Cryptic Gateway unless you can make wizard tokens to tap or some high cost wizards (7 cost?). Instead, add counter spells with a draw effect.
