Flusterstorm is already more of a counter than PoN. I don't think the deck has room for too many more counters as it needs to find the combo pieces. That being said, flusterstorm is a powerhouse against discard in Game 1, especially T2 Thoughtseize or Hymn. It's also a "real counter" against other Show and Tell decks, and I even used it to counter a Fireblast. Sometimes it makes me wait an extra turn to go off compared with PoN, but often I can use a City to make sure I have enough mana to go off with flusterstorm backup.

Wipe away is fine. Rushing River is also fine. I don't have a strong preference, but against some decks the pseudo uncounterability is nice. Very powerful in the mirror. I'd say it hasn't affected many if any games to my knowledge, as long as you have 2 wishable ways to deal with hatebears. Rushing River is probably better in a Maverick meta though.
