Espur Control in standard

Using startled awake is your general win condition, however you do also have multiple Thing in the Ices for an additional amount of pressure. The deck is currently running 13 counter spells however, 3 of them will probably be side boarded at 13 is too many. The deck does not run many draw spells however, the 3 Barals in deck help to filter out things you dont want, such as more than 5 total land. Thalia is put into the deck to hold off some of the more aggro delerium decks, as well as to slow down your opponent, even if she does this for one turn it might be enough to allow you to get a counter spell ready for the next turn.

any help for ideas for the side board or changes to the deck list would be appreciated.
