Looks like a fairly "stock" RWU midrange deck, so I'll share based on my experience. Your best bet however, is to watch some streams or videos of pros playing similar decks.
Path to Exile has negative synergy with Mana Leak , so use leak early in matchups that require path and consider boarding leaks out in those matchups.
Sometimes leaking is correct even when the opponent can pay the 3 mana, because it can help buy tempo.
Remand is capable of some neat tricks against other counters. For instance, you play Geist of Saint Traft , they Cryptic Command (on counter + draw modes)... your best response is to Remand your own spell, drawing a card and fizzling their Cryptic.
Remanding a flashback-ed spell will exile the countered spell.
If a Spellskite is in play and you need to kill a 1-toughness creature, select the creature and the Spellskite so that the target can't be redirected to Spellskite.
Consider a Counterflux for the sideboard, it's more useful than you might think.
