Before I release the decklist I will explain to you my card choices and of course, how the deck works.  

The deck wins by playing an ilusions of granduer, then donating it to your opponent.  The deck can also pone with a morphling.
Win:  3 illusions, 2 donate, 1 morphling.

Draw engine: intuition + ak/da- this seems to be the fastest blue draw engine in the format right now, being able to draw 3 and 4 cards in a single AK.  

Permission: force of will, mana drain, stifle-  without counters the deck would be much weaker to, well anything

Restricted:  power nine, mystical tutor, gush, fact or fiction- all restricted for obvious reasons

Other:  Brainstorm, merchant scroll-all strong blue cards

Now the deck....

Mono-blue-trix-1.0

4 force of will
4 mana drain
3  stifle

3 illusions of granduer
2 donate
1 morphling
1 rushing river

4 brainstorm
3 intuiton
4 accumulated knowledge
2 deep analysis
2 merchant scroll

1 ancestral recall
1 time walk
1 gush
1 fact or fiction
1 time twister
1 windfall

1 lotus
5 moxen
15 island



NO STRIPS- i couldn't find the room, they just don't work towards the deck's cause.

sideboard..
3 nevinyrral's disk
1 morphling
1 stifle
4 chain of vapor
4 hurkyl's recal
2 deep analysis

I really haven't tested nearly enough to put up my results but I will have them shortly.  Soooooooooo... what do you think?
 Question

You made a decent attempt at an explanation, but the post and decklist itself overall is lacking. Moved to Newbie Forum. Also, pone is definitely not a word. Its PWN.

Is there any advantage to playing this over Tog?  It really just appears like Tog but with 3 dead cards in the maindeck instead of Cunning Wishes.

If you are open to splashing i would suggest a splash in black and white.

White gives Academy rector which lets you tutor for your enchantmens in the deck. This is strong when a splash of black is added for goodies like duress, cabal therapy,dark ritual, and yawgmoth's bargain. It lets you play like the trix decks of old and adds versatality to the deck. The loss from this can be consistency in mana base in a heavy strip environment.
 
Just some possiblilities in splashes if you are open to it.

If you don't splash, maybe you could consider running [card]sapphire medallion[/card]. Five artifacts aren't that many, but you can consider throwing in a Tolarian Academy too.

Why no Cunning Wish? you have the Stifle, Chain of Vapor, and Hurkyl's Recall which can be wished for. also why no Blue Elemental Blasts in sb?

If you're going to run Brainstorm, why aren't there fetchlands? If you're not going to use fetches, I suggest using Impulse instead.

Also i didn't add black or white because i wanted it to be a mono-colored deck= no weakness to wasteland or other hate.

If you're going to have a mono-U deck, you should probably have Back to Basics in the sideboard.

So I suppose I should take The Fringe back out of my sig now...

If by sideboard, you mean maindeck.
