Interesting deck idea. I know that this strategy is overused, but have you considered more counterspells, in general? I imagine that a custody battle enchanting your commander would not be very fun.

Whispers of the Muse instead of Reach Through Mists. Buyback, my guy.

The more I look at and play this deck, the less I like it. I think it's built on a flawed concept, as it takes a considerable amount of mana to field talrand and support him simultaneously, and the normal way you would do this is with counter spells/effects, which work poorly in EDH in terms of general card advantage. They stop specific threats, and buy you time to build up drakes, but as you are playing against 2-3 opponents your 1 for 1 counterspells make you run out of material much more quickly than opponents. Granted, this is a general problem of mono-blue in EDH, but I think there are much better mono-blue commanders that have less temperamental conditions.
