Id add 2 more cyclonic rift
Maybe take out a duress and silence the believers. That's my opinion though.

I think you're right...I was trying to be cute with {Corrupt} but I've been having issues hitting double blue so I've been putting in more islands which is just making {Corrupt} worse.  Plus the lack of a sweeper and just permanent hate in general has me thinking Rift is my best bet.  Considering main or sideboard {Ratchet Bomb}s as well.
then i would probably consider taking out your -#/-# spells.

i agree with mutavaults. also id play {ætherling} until rotation over prognostic sphinx. sphinx is fine, but id rather be able to exile aetherling so he doesnt die to boardwipes. and i think omenspeak could be replaced.

With rg monsters i run 4 mountains 6 forest 4 stomping ground nykthos and temple if abandoned. Nykthos is great for getting a lot of land. So if you only run 24 counting nykthos choose what color will help you most. That's how it helps me
