Countering everything your opponent throws at you while chipping away at their life with medium and high strength creatures.

Counter+ flying. Tried, tested and true.
Swap out the {Mind Control}'s for {Corrupted Conscience}. Same mana cost, but youth end up with infect as well, which when you steal a 7/7 dragon/wurm/eldrazi/.... It can be a quick game win.
Also why bother with the {Leyline of Anticipation}? Your deck is full of instants - no sorceries an only one other major enchantment. Dropping creatures at any time with this deck seems like a waste to me...
And since {Counterspell} isn't in here, I'm gonna assume your ignoring old cards. Otherwise I'd quickly say:
{Isochron Scepter}+{Counterspell}/{Boomerang} or any other very long list of 2 or less instants in MTG that belong to blue.
