Order of the Jedi deck help

So I know I'm probably not the first person to make a deck like this and I probably won't be the last, but this is my attempt at a Blue/White Jedi style control deck.
The blue cards in the deck are based around the Jedi abilities Telekenesis/Force Push/Force Throw, utilizing cards like Unsummon. The idea is to make it as hard as possible for my opponent to get creatures on the field and muster any type of offense, keeping with the Jedi code of not using The Force as an offensive weapon.
The white cards in the deck are based around the Jedi abilities Protection Bubble(preventing damage) and a small amount of Revitalize(life gain).
Here is the deck list:
Creatures
2x Voidwielder, 2x AEther Adept,2x Archaeomancer,2x Samite Healer,1x Hallowed Healer,2x Pride Guardian,1x Blazing Archon,1x Phantasmal Dragon,1x Dream Stalker,1x Riftwing Cloudskate,3x Loxodon Anchorite,2x Time Elemental
Spells
2x Spell Pierce,2x Spell Syphon,2x Eye of Nowhere,2x Surging AEther,2x Unsummon,1x Witchbane Orb,2x Rewind,1x Sphere of Law,1x Sphere of Truth,1x Sphere of Reason,1x Sphere of Grace,1x Sphere of Duty,1x Circle of Protection: Blue,1x Circle of Protection: Black
That is the concept I have so far. But knowing that Blue and White aren't known for damage, this deck seems to lack winning contingencies . So, I ask for assistance in finding cards that can help secure a victory that fit within the theme of the deck.
This is a casual deck. At this time, I have no intentions of entering into any tournaments.

Have you seen Azor's Elocutors? It might be the win-con style you were going for

Maybe something with prowess? Like Seeker of the Way, Jhessian Thief, Jeskai Windscout or Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest

I'd say get rid of the circle of protections and the spheres. They're too narrow in scope, you might not draw the one you need. If this isn't budget, replace Witchbane Orb with some Leyline of Sanctitys and maybe Rewind with some Remands and/or Mana Leaks. You don't want to be paying 4 for a counterspell. With only two Surging AEthers, there's a very low chance that you'll actually ripple into another one. You're better off replacing them with Boomerang/Vapor Snag/Path to Exile/Swords to Plowshares. As for creatures, have you considered Harbinger of the Tides or Mother of Runes?

Thanks everyone for the ideas so far. Will be working on tweaking the deck.
HavokX, what would you recommend in place of the circles and spheres?

This deck would be much easier to look at if you made it into a deck file. It still looks pretty good though.
