Hey,
I've did a short research, here is what I found. Maybe something catches your eye:
Alexi, Zephyr Mage (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Alexi%2C+Zephyr+Mage)
Darting Merfolk (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Darting+Merfolk)
Lantern Spirit (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Lantern+Spirit)
Nightscape Master (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Nightscape+Master)
Knacksaw Clique (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Knacksaw+Clique)
Pili-Pala (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Pili-Pala)
Nevinyrral's Disk (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Nevinyrral%27s+Disk) (nasty lock with a indestructible mairsil)
Hero's Downfall (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Hero%27s+Downfall)
Tragic Slip (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Tragic+Slip)
Curtains' Call (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Curtains%27+Call)
Abrade (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Abrade)
Avatar of Woe (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Avatar+of+Woe)
Boompile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Boompile)
Dwarven Driller (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Dwarven+Driller)
Maddening Imp (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Maddening+Imp) (I love this bastard, even if he has a complicated rule text <3)
Royal Assassin (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Royal+Assassin)
Viashino Heretic (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Viashino+Heretic)
Then you should take a look for some cards that make Mairsil indestructible. The most obvious card for this would be Darksteel Plate (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Darksteel+Plate).
For your manabase, Fellwar Stone (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Fellwar+Stone) and Exotic Orchard (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Exotic+Orchard) could help. If you've got some money to spend, these lands I would reccomend for the beginning: Dragonskull Summit (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Dragonskull+Summit), Drowned Catacomb (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Drowned+Catacomb), Smoldering Marsh (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Smoldering+Marsh), Sunken Hollow (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Sunken+Hollow). They should help with colorfixing and doesn't always enter tapped.

After re-organizing, I think I have too much evasion and counter spells. If I can find the right untap effects then I'll feel better about adding tap activations.
-
I moved some stuff around, added some removal and untap.
It's so easy to get lost in the fog (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Fog) of Mairsil, the Pretender (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mairsil%2C+the+Pretender) and his abilities. It's hard to stay on task.

I'm still balking about adding Nevinyrral's Disk (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Nevinyrral%27s+Disk) as I am finding it difficult to give Mairsil indestructible under a cage counter. Is it possible to utilize the stack and just give Mairsil the ability to regenerate (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Regenerate) and avoid the nuclear holocaust? The ubiquity of regeneration (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Regeneration), especially in black, will be much easier to exploit.
-
I added Nev Disk and regeneration (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Regeneration)/protection for it's effect. Gameplay has shown that I should add some self mill for more effective "Searching"...

Trying to fix my manabase.
