You have some higher thresh cards in both trades. I suggest trying add the Double Resources - up to 4 of each (Exploitation and Neurosis). I know they are hard to get, but I recommend proxying them until you can find.

Also, what is your "win condition" for this deck? I see lots of control (bounce and removal), but how will you reduce the opponent's influence to zero.

I predict this deck would stall and draw many games. Perhaps add some big beef (4 of for sure). Some ideas:
Black Scourge of the Brine
Sequestered Hellion
Adominable Hamster
Horrendous Behemoth

But, hopefully better players than me will share their wisdom.

Good luck!

What I notice immediately is a distinct lack of characters. There are a lot of ways to remove characters from the board and with so few in your deck your opponent can save their removal for what few you have. I appreciate the idea of a good control deck, but if you can, try to find a way to add more Character based control rather than Tactic based.

Sin Against Nature is obviously missing by the way He combos with Wanton Wizard to let you recur (as in use again, not the ability) a tactic and he's a respectable 3/3/3. Ensorcelled Familiar would be a good addition to search and recur a tactic, plus he allows for more "pinging". Caboodling Gladhander is a character that doubles as a piece of removal. Also, I like Circumspect Hijacker better than Slick Orator. Circumspect is a better body (2/2/3 vs 1/4/2) and has the opportunity of netting you 2 cards, one of which before he dies

The other thing you should examine is your resource count. You're running 25 resources and 4 resource finders (each of which can find up to 2 resources). This seems very excessive as you only have 1 card that is icon driven (Walk the Plank). You should be safe to cut down on your resources and start with one of each in play. Mulligan aggressively to get a Karmic cake or a couple of staples and you should be off and running.
