Mainly looking for some good ideas of blue cards or multi-colored cards (RU) cards that will work well in a deck of this style. Not necessarily Izzet themed, just RU colored.

Owen Turtenwald recently wrote an article on Modern UR Control. You should read the article through, as he recommends a lot of changes. Blood Moon is a card you should be playing if it's only two colors. Here are the control staples:
Lightning Bolt , Spell Snare , Remand , Mana Leak , Cryptic Command , Izzet Charm , Electrolyze

Don't forget lesser known cards like Psionic Blast, Pulse of the Grid, Ral Zarek, and not lesser-known-but-just-came-out Treasure Cruise.
Pulse of the grid is good for card advantage, ral can kill things efficiently/kill opponents efficiently, and psionic blast can kill a range of things like: Courser of Kruphix, Brimaz, King of Oreskos, Liliana of the Veil, Celestial Colonnade, and so much more!
And treasure cruise is just insane. But since your deck is blue based, I would suggest Dig Through Time instead.
Remember to pack in 2x Desolate Lighthouse and 2x Ghost Quarter/Tectonic Edge.
