Deck discussion for U deck challenge/help

I haven't constructed mono blue before so the deck is my 1st draft. I'm hoping some of you here will be up for the challenge of pointing me in the right direction with blue.

Currently the deck is trying to make it hard for my opponent to do much if anything at all.
Get an unblockable specter and play cards from my opponents deck.
An unblockable keeper of secrets for continuous draw.

Im open for any suggestions including going Dimir, also id really like peoples ideas on the most effective counterspell cards and the optimum number to run in a deck.

Why the Orchard card?
Something like Faerie Conclave is much better. Not sure if it is Modern, though.

This deck needs a lot of work, friend.

1st) You have 4 creatures in the deck. Not good. You need more. The 4 creatures does work well with the Orchard card, so good job there.
So, you need more creatures or ways to steal other creatures like Control Magic. Or something like Cryptoplasm.

2nd) Even with 16 counterspells (which is probably too much) your opponent WILL get threats on the board. You need a way to remove them. This introduces idea of Bounce cards like Boomerang. Or a Modern Version of that..like Void Snare.

Would suggest something like this...to playtest and see if it is any better:
-1 Bident
-4 Counterspells
-1 Aqueous Form
+3 Creatures
+3 Void Snare/some sort of Bounce.

Good luck!
