Your deck is heavily inconsistent, you want to keep your total number of cards at 60 not counting your sideboard. In addition try not have to many 1 or 2 off cards. Here a list I threw together: https://deckbox.org/sets/808488

Sultai Control
Counter spells- Dissipate and Stubborn Denial. Dissipate because exile doesn't fuel delve, Stubborn Denial for turn 1 counters and late game.
Card Draw- Treasure Cruise, Sultai Charm. Treasure Cruise gets me more card than dig through time, Sultai Charm is versatile.
Removal- Sultai Charm, Murderous Cut, Silence the Believers. Murderous Cut, I don't use many creatures, plenty of cards to fuel delve, Silence the Believers can be multi target and doesn't fuel delve.
Ramp-Sylvan Caryatid, Courser of Kruphix. Sylvan Caryatid, blocker, plus it can generate any color, Courser of Kruphix, good lifegain, plus extra lands are always welcome.
Planeswalker-Ashiok can help deal deck with delve and lets me capitalize on cards revealed by an opponents courser.
Other-Kin-Tree Invocation, Stormtide Leviathan. Kin Tree Invocation can get me a 4/4 cheaply, allowing me to save mana to counter spell, it also triggers stubborn denial for ferocius, Stormtide Leviathan is the win con.

I want to keep soldier of the pantheon because in Kahns of Tarkir there will be a ton of multicolor cards in play, because soldier of the pantheon has protection from multicolor it makes a good blocker. In addition this will cause its lifegain effect to active regularly thus pumping Ajani's Pridemate.
Ajani's Pridemate gets pumped from Soldier of the Pantheon, but yeah I see your point I probably don't have enough life gain for it to be viable.
Thassa's rebuff I meant to drop that earlier this was based off of my old mono blue deck.
I'm dropping Thassa's Rebuff and the white creatures.

Blue/Red/White Control, decklist as it stands: https://deckbox.org/sets/775455
Possible Changes
-When Kahns of Tarkir comes out I plan to do some swapping and add in Mystic Monastery, and Sage of the Inward Eye
-Lightning Strike and Magma Spray are probably not that useful, but I'm not sure what I'd use in their place
-I probably need some sort of board wipe
General Strategy
Turn 1
If I go first I want to open with Soldier of the Pantheon, If I go second or don't pull Soldier of the Pantheon I'll play a removal effect (void snare or magma spray depending) on my opponent's opening creature if they have one.
Turn 2
If I fielded Soldier of the Pantheon I'll want to follow it up with Ajanis Pridemate. If I don't have Ajani's Pridemate or Soldier of the Pantheon has not been played, I'll put a/another Soldier of the Pantheon out. If neither of those are options I'll remove any creatures my opponent has played.
Turn 3
Ideally I have Ajani's Pridemate/Soldier of the Pantheon out, if I do I play Spellheart Chimera. If I can't achieve either of these goals I save my mana for counterspelling/removal.
Turn 4
At this point I hopefully have either the Ajani's Pridemate/Soldier of the Pantheon Combo, Spellheart Chimera, or I've used removal effects to keep my opponent from having any creatures. At this point if I don't at least have Soldier of the Pantheon or Spellheart Chimera out creatures are top priority. If I have creatures out I start focusing on preventing my opponent from doing anything.
Suggestions?
