Didn't manage to get to FNM in the end, but did some testing of the TITI deck on MTGO. Because I didn't have the tokens, I ran Dimensional Infiltrator over Spellskite. For some reason my Serum Visions also weren't appearing in the collections so I main decked Echoing Truth. Started out in the casual rooms.
Beat modern Valakut Titan, 2:1. Also beat white weenie and soldier token decks. An orzhov human sacrifice deck and A golgari, scute mob, mimic vat deck, and a snake tribal deck. Lost to an intruder alarm combo deck. So nothing particularly testing or competitive yet.
Notes so far:
Muddle the Mixture. There weren't many occasions where I was lacking in cards enough to tap 3 to tutor, so I think I'd rather main deck Mana Leak and Dispel and possibly drop a Remand.
Echoing Truth hoses token decks as well as cards that need to imprint like Mimic Vat and Isochron Scepter
Delver of Secrets Flip, Thing in the Ice Flip, Kira, Great Glass-Spinner is a nice 1,2,3, and a lot of decks struggled with Kira. I actually really liked Shorecrasher Elemental for the ability to dodge removal, pump on empty boards and play defence especially as we almost always have mana open.
Dimensional Infiltrator I'm a bit lukewarm on. I can see it being useful against Etched Champions, and it fits the deck to flash them in, but there's probably a better 1 or 2 drop that's not Snapcaster Mage. I have the skites in paper so this is more on MTGO.
Halimar Depths felt too slow, especially without a proper scry effect. May add the Faerie Conclaves back in to test those.
Oh, also Phyrexian Revoker might be good to consider for the same reasons as spellskite

Totally a +1 for me. The only thing I am unsure about is Think Twice. With all the draw effects you already have, is it really necessary to have this one? Maybe drop it to go up on the remands or cryptic commands?
On a side note, "on the rocks" already means "with ice", so your name is super confusing for me :P. Is it purposely like that, or was that accidentally paradoxical?
