I am torn as to a wincon. I love me some spaghetti monster, but I don't want to give my opponents a chance to recoup and possibly win. I have still some need as what to cut.

{Counterlash} will never work in this deck it is too much mana and some decks dont play creatures {Show and Tell} is how you get {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} on the battlefield

Less {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}, more {Delver of Secrets}. {Counterbalance}, {Sensei's Divining Top}, {Stifle}, {Trickbind} for mono blue. Fetch lands for shuffle and digging effects. Legacy is a ruthless format.

Interesting deck, reminds me of some of the decks we used to have in INN/Scars standard. The issue with mono blue is if they get creatures to hit the board you have no removal. Maybe it doesn't fit, but consider {Psionic Blast} if you're dead set on mono blue.
