What Anubuss said. Also, posting a deck list would go a long way towards having people be able to help you solve your current issues.
"I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God."
I am not having problems with drawing mana and 19 seems the magic number with lands as far as that goes.
Mathematically speaking, I am curious about this. With 19 lands, there is 30% chance you will not have two lands by turn 2 (assuming you start), compared to 19% with 23 lands.

41 cards + 19 land = 60 card deck with a 31% mana ratio.
A hair less than 1 in 3 cards witll be mana in a perfect world.
This means I should draw 2 land out of 7 cards and have the third land come on my second turn and fourth land on my fifth turn.
Agian this is in a perfect world.
To alaviate any mana anorexia I have intentionally put 24 cards with a CMC of 3 or less in the deck.
Since you have mentioned it I have begun to think that it could use 1 or 2 more mana, just to be on the safe side.
But the above was my train of though with the current deck version
A couple extra mana would go a long way to help with Thalia too...
For one, play Feeling of Dread . For two, your land count is way too low; the world is not perfect, and you need to make land drops from turn one til forever, especially considering your deck doesn't mulligan well.
Cut 2 Temporal Mastery for 2 more land Cut 2 Dissipate for 1 Sycopate and a land Cut 1 Revalaition for a land Cut 1 Entreat for a land
That puts you at 24 land (the bare minimum for what you'd want) and ups your odds at short changing Aggro since X = 1 is as good as a hard counter in the early turns when they're trying to curve out.

Good call on the Feeling of Dread ....but prolly not 4...i'm thinking 3....or even 2
As far as the mana goes, I do plan to put another 1 or 2 in
BUT
with all the draw capability with this deck, I don't really need to run more than 22 land.
