Phew, Taniwha is a hard General to build around in monoblue. The idea is to drop him, preferably give him double strike, next turn when he's gone you bounce the world and the next turn go in for the kill.
Have you considered playing Quicken?
[Metamagic feats are serious tech ;-) ]
Put the awesome-beast-of-Maori-myth's ability on the stack, tap all them tasty lands for mana, and then when all your islands are nicely phased to safety, drop a quickened Upheaval.
Followed by chuckles as you have all that accumulated land in play next turn, while everyone else is back to square 1.
Also, Reliquary Tower (Spellbook) effects might help the chuckles even more - why be forced to choose only 7?
You're a Blue mage, for heaven's sake; magic is your life, you don't discard.
(Sorry, italics was the most contempt I could spell that with, if you know of a better way I'll happily edit it :-D )
Quicken is a good idea. Evil tech! I'll also add Reliquary Tower, good idea Contempt was deserved, and I'll oblige directly
Someone is going to point out that Upheaval is banned, so I can just aswell do it myself.
Cool general though, nice to see some seamonsters aside from Lorthos popping up :3

Thanks for reminding me I'll put in Evacuation instead. Doh, I already put that one in Eh...Boomerang it is until I find a better card (or you suggest one :)).
Also, consider trading in one of the mass draw cards for Future Sight.
Wow...how could I think of playing Temporal Fissure when I can play Capsize? I won't play Jace in this deck, because I don't own one, but the Future Sight is a great addition, thanks!

Did You consider Teferi's Isle so that You could have a land and a general after You blow the world up?
You could also use Painter's Servant as a combo with Wash Out
Both nice idea's. Teferi's Isle is sucky, but very in theme and could potentially be useful
Quicken is a good idea. Evil tech!

Edit: Land Equilibrium looks like an interesting option.

I'm shocked and appalled that Venser, Shaper Savant isn't in your list
Temporal Fissure is a nice touch. Lategame, even without massive storm, it should still be able to bounce a few permanents.
And I will add Venser immediately! Totally forgot about him
Took out the Boomerang and Gomazoa for the both of them.
