31 lands is way too many. Somewhere around 23-24 would be a safe amount. After dropping the land count I would try to increase the number of 3-drops some to help round out your curve a bit.

Mindreaver should probably be dropped from the deck. You have virtually no spells you can cast that will trigger his Heroic ability making him a plain 2/1 for 2 most of the time which isn't great.

Some other cards to consider that would be somewhat in theme:

Peel from Reality - It lets you bounce one of your opponents creatures and also bounce one of yours which you can then replay to trigger more detain effects.

Flickerwisp - Same basic idea as Peel from Reality. You get a creature and you get to blink out one of your creatures and have him come back to re-trigger Detain.

New Prahv Guildmage - 2/2 for 2 that you can eventually use to just detain something at-will

Lyev Skyknight - 3/1 flying for 3 that lets you detain. Evasion is nice and having 3 power can potentially get in a lot of damage.

Lavinia of the Tenth - If you wanted to go for a more aggressive top-end this would be a good card to replace Azor's Elocutors with. If you run ways to bounce/blink Lavinia then you can get some repeated heavy board detains which can be useful.

If you wanted to go down the route of having a lot of creatures with 'when <name> enters the battlefield' effects and ways to blink or bounce the creatures then there are a lot of options available to you in modern.
