I have been having a problem with my playgroup that many face: the Arms race. I have normally stopped building hyper cometative deck but rather prefer building decks that bring out my inner Johnny. But most of my decks cough cough he who hungers and Selenia Dark Angel win with obscure combos that are rather predictable after play with them and now my playgroup is becoming hyper aggressive and creature focused. So now I am tired of playing nice and getting rolled over because I am playing more fun decks. Time for Staxs.
Ideally I wanted Lady Sun As my commander but due to price issue I am currently sticking with Meloku the Clouded Mirror because of his nice combo potential to finish a game. I am however possibly going to get a Lady Sun if I find this deck works well.
So currently I am looking for Card suggestions and Possible directions for the deck to take.
I had been building this deck as a more universal Monoblue stax list and then decided to toss Meloku at the helm for now. So i am missing several pieces that are more Meloku based. Surveyor's scope is one of those that in building I wasn't thinking about it. I will add it if I decide to keep it Meloku but currently I am still debating a lot on who the commander should be.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Wash out Has always been one of my favorite blue board control spells, probably would be a good fit here.
Turnabout Seems like it would be really good with the stasis theme you've got.
Temple of the false god seems really out of place in a meloku stax deck.
