I would reduce the creature count...removing Phantasmal Abomination for sure because you want to be aggressive and maybe any combination of Illusionary Servant & Phantom Beast to make room for a more budget draw/cantrip and or bounce/tempo spells like Monastery Siege and or Mana Leak / Gigadrowse .

Looks pretty good but i would look into finding some creature removal. If your opponent is able to land a scary creature, it can do a number n you before you find a way to stabilize. At first glance this seems like a deck that once its ahead can keep on the pressure but if your opponent gets off to a faster start, it might be hard for you to recover. Right now the only way you have of interacting with your opponent is flagship but against some decks that might not be enough.

Also i'm not sure how strong it would be offhand without playtesting with it but creatures like Phantasmal Abomination can do a decent job at gumming up the ground from enemy attacks or crewing vehicles. (While defender prevents a creature from attacking it doesnt stop it from getting into a car and having the car attack. Yes it doesnt make much sense but interactions are weird sometimes)

A playset Krovikan Mist is a must.

Dissolve and usually Dissipate are strictly better than Cancel.

Chronozoa is nice if it has time to grow, albeit it's slow.

Illusionary Servant has great body for his cost and is better in my opinion than Phantasmal Abomination.

What about Illusionary Servant instead of Phantasmal Abomination? The deck seems to want to be the aggressor in most match ups, and flying always helps.
