Simple Irritations (Standard MTG Deck)

My first FNM ever i designed a MONO blue deck and just got skullfucked at the LCS where i now play. Mind you it was a wall mill deck that had no real win cons to it. I honestly had no idea what i was getting myself into when i started playing standard. Now.. i could two shits about what i take to play. I mostly go to have fun and try new things. I have had very little success with much other than mono white and mono red and one azorius lock down deck. So i am used to getting the shit kicked out of me, Now its time to rebuild a MONO blue deck that does not rely on devotion like the popular one i still see being played by at least one player at FNMs. So here we go. Lets break down this deck list.PLenty of stall until you get to what hurts the other guy in cards like Dissolve,Negate Nullify and i have found in testing that Annul is really nice as a one CMC counter for enchantments and artifacts (im looking at you banishing light). My main win cons are the Chasm Skulker and Stormtide Leviathan (disregard this until i am 100% certain there is a reprint) the skulker can hit 6/6 by turn 4 . Drop him on turn three with a font out turn four he gets one counter when you draw activate the font put two more on him draw two, then slap an ordeal of thassa and sac it right away for two more counters and cards.Value? thats four cards for four mana and turn 4 6/6 flier that if it dies you get four 1/1 island walkers that work sweetly with the leviathan(again until i am 100% certain) ).The one copy of thassa can become active but she is there mostly to help sort out draws. the single copy of the Scourge can be a game changer, when he comes out you are pretty much assured a board wipe i have only islands in here. Omenspeaker is here as a fat ass who helps me dig to what i need. then there is Jace/ Jace, the Living Guildpact i have not seen him in action so much in the playtesting of this so i am kind of eager to see how well he fits or doesnt. i am just single minded on his ultimate in connection with the skulker. any how advice, comments, and plus ones are welcome. please keep in mind this solely theros,journey,BNG and M15 and will stay that way.

Edit

Board cleared. Okay after taking advice i have added on bident to get extra value out of those Shorestlakers and add a tiny bit of devo to make thassa a good body to block with. I also added in the Dakra Mystic this littel chick is a beast at draw power and when the opponent has a Courser of Kruphix out you can pretty much decide whether or not to let them draw that card at all. you see land let it ride. you see a win con.. into the yard with you. Sure you give up a card too but if thassa is out you pretty much already know what it topdeck anyway. I am also testing out Scourge of Fleets (which is working great) and Shipbreaker Kraken which is tough to hit monstrous with but makes a nice attacker. All in all i am pretty happy with the build and its success in playtesting. I will conitue to improve it as i can. i am wondering if it will be able to compete with the MONO artifact decks that will assuredly be springing up what with ensoul artifact and chief engineer. I see that deck being a powerhouse in standard. Until i am 100% certain there will be a reprint of Stormtide Leviathan i will keep it as two of the krakens.
