Don't you see my 2 untapped lands you noob?!?

Mystical Tutor might help you a lot when it comes to game winning spells. Especially if you need to find a good counter spell soon.
Thing in the Ice Flip (or TitI) is always a fun add for mono blue counter decks (especially since it's 2 cost for a cheapo beater). Also some common spot removal like Boomerang or Unsummon might be great.
Also, having an Elite Arcanist is also a great option, not to mention an Arcane Sanctum and Mizzium Meddler.

Instead of the Wilds, maybe look at the Pain Lands. The life loss should be negated by the servant. Underground River, Arcane Sanctum, Dromar's Cavern, and Crypt of Agadeem are also options. But, this deck looks pretty solid! I would still skip the Executioners in favor of a better zombie lord. A zombie army with menace is almost always a game win. Another card I forgot to mention is Behind the Scenes. Skulk + Menace = unhappy enemies. Finally, Carrion Feeder and Nantuko Husk are excellent sac outlets. A must for zombie tribal.

I wouldn't say there are any mistakes in your deck, but as a long time player I have some suggestions.
For your lands, I would cut most of the lands that come into play tapped and replace them with basic lands, or other multi-color lands that don't enter the battlefield tapped, like the painlands or shocklands. The only ones I would possibly keep are the scry lands and Arcane Sanctum.
One newer card that is very good with your commander is Aetherflux Resevoir, because you can give it lifelink and kill everyone at the table. It's also not too difficult to get your life up to 50 since Sydri can grant lifelink to your creatures. Mycosynth Lattice is also good (though might be a bit pricey) because it lets you pay one blue mana to destroy any land.

Wall of Omens over Kaijin or Fog Bank? Drawing cards is always nice.
Dragonlord Ojutai over Angelic Overseer? Doesn't die to Lightning Bolt or Anger of the Gods if you dont have a human. And he lets you Anticipate for free.
Mana Leak or Remand over Cancel? If you want a more powerful 3 mana counterspell, why not Dissolve, Dissipate, Disallow, Scatter to the Winds or Hinder?
Temple of Enlightenment or Glacial Fortress or Prairie Stream or Port Town over Calciform Pools and Arcane Sanctum? You don't need the black mana Sanctum provides, and Calciform doesn't tap for coloured mana immediately. Any combination of the above lands (including the budget Tranquil Cove) seems better, even if you run more basics.
