Updated with a few cards I traded for.
-1 Ixidron, +1 Inferno Titan
Ixidron was just not doing much, and copying him is pretty worthless
-1 Into the Roil, +1 Cryptic Command
Cryptic just seems to be straight better
-1 Counterspell, +1 Voidslime
I always have loads of mana, and Voidslime is so versatile
-1 Elvish Visionary, +1 Coiling Oracle
Close to a strict upgrade since I nearly always have UG when I cast Visionary
-1 Ranger's Path, +1 Harrow
Harrow is sick in Riku, since you only have to sac one land even when you copy it.

Updated with GTC cards:- Manalith- Intet, the Dreamer- Hydra Omnivore- Simic Sky Swallower- Void Stalker- Brainstorm- Cackling Counterpart
None of these cards were performing as expected. Intet was almost never activated, Sky Swallower was just a dude, Void Stalker tucked once out of all games played with it... none were as good as expected.
The primordials have insane ETBs, perfect for abusing with Riku/Pod/Maelstrom Wanderer. Master Biomancer is cool, but when copied he's sick: the copy enters with 2 counters from the first 'mancer, so everything else comes in with six. Fathom Mage, again, is nice alone, but sick with two out. Each creature I cast becomes a draw two. Urban Evolution is just a nice all around card, with great value from copying. Stolen Identity takes the place of Cackling Counterpart. Since I lack clone effects in the deck - mainly because I don't have the cards, I feel like Stolen Identity is great. It's basically a Phyrexian Metamorph sorcery that can repeat.
