I made a lot of small changes and reconsidered a bunch of them before I was happy but I think the final result ended up being Crop Rotation out, Voidmage Apprentice out (just too inefficient), powerful tutors and Ancient Tomb and Urza's Saga to the sideboard, pathway lands in for better fixing, and Academy Ruins in as 3 of the combo pieces are artifacts.

Muraganda Petroglyphs: What's better than a 3 mana 2/2 with an unknown ability? a 3 mana 4/4 with an unknown ability.

Voidmage Apprentice: counterspells that can interrupt split second are generally good.

Mischievous Quanar: Fuck your counterspells! And other stuff. I want an Apex of Power, too!

Aphetto Runecaster: More card draw is never bad; worst case scenario, you add a lab man and become a real dousche.

Echo Tracer: Redo! (Or removal)

Weaver of Lies: Redo all of your other morphs, and then turn your echo tracer face up again and return this to your hand, then cast it for free with Kadena? Seems good.

Tidal Barracuda: Flash is really good with Kadena, and fucking the speed at which your opponents play is always good.

Master of the Veil: Similar to Weaver, but less mana overall.

Dream Chisel: ... duh?

Wilderness Reclamation: Untap to do all them morphs on other people's turns. Extremely powerful. And you can fuck with the amount of mana you can produce by responding to the trigger like people were doing in standard.

Leyline of Anticipation: Again, flash. Also, free more often than you think.

Alchemist's Refuge: ^

I did not even think about the Vesuvan Brine combo, thank you for mentioning it.

Although I could see the benefits of Voidmage Apprentice, however I never really thought that a counter for 4 mana is any good, unless it adds some good things, like Kheru Spellsnatcher. Although I might reconsider about Voidmage, depending on where I go with the deck.

Write into Being does feel underwhelming to me too, yet I think with Kadena it adds some value (a 2/2 creature and a card draw) as well as using Primordial Mist you can always play the manifest if it isn't a creature.

But thank you for the feedback DankMagicianD

You might already know this, but since you didn't have it in the description: Brine Elemental and Vesuvan Shapeshifter also locks down your opponents. Voidmage Apprentice is a great addition to the deck as well. As for what to take out for it, Write into Being has always felt underwhelming for me unless I hit a morph creature, which isn't consistent enough to make me love the card.

Cool deck!!!
Any thoughts about Voidmage Prodigy or Voidmage Apprentice?

@Kogarashi

Like Tylord2894 mentioned, special actions do not use the stack.

The abilities of Voidmage Apprentice and Stratus Dancer that could enable you to counter Krosan Grip are triggered abilities which trigger when the morphed card is turned face up.

It should also be noted that special actions can still go on the stack with split second as well. This means if you had a face-down Voidmage Apprentice or Stratus Dancer, you could morph it to counter the Krosan Grip when a conventional counterspell wouldn't work.
