Well. i try to build a Stasis deck..
So here is my first shoot:

2 capsize
4 stasis
4 Barrin, Master Wizard
2 Stormscape Familiar
2 Meditate
2 Chronatog
2 Serra Angel
4 Academy Rector
3 Kismet
2 Nature's Will
4 Howling Mine
2 Iron Maiden
2 Feldon's Cane
1 Umbilicus


1 Rishadan Port
2 City of Brass
10 Island
9 Plains
2 Forest
 

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
It looks a bit on the slow side. I'd add something more defensive. Not sure what to cut though...

If you are trying to build turbostasis, you need a lot more countermagic.

I've found that if you're going for the Kismet/Chronatog combo, Capsize is enough backup. Umbilicus is fun, but is a bit narrow.

And adding Green really screws up the mana base.

Oh, and it needs some mass-removal (if only just to kill a rector)

So, something like this?

For any stasis deck, It is my opinion that you need a way to bounce stasis back to your hand so that you are the FIRST to untap. Using boomerangs, and Time Elementals are the best way I have found.

If you're going for the Chronatog kill, you never need to untap because you'll never have another turn. That being said, I would still run Boomerangs for some defense. Thwart might be an option as well, but I would make sure to have 4 Counterspells and 4 Forces before Thwarts (or Misdirection, for that matter).

I have found in my Stasis deck that running two colors can really slow you down sometimes, so instead of Kismet, I use a Tangle wire to gain the winning lead. It isn't one hundred percent certain against red decks with one-mana burn spells, but keeping a few forces/thwarts/dazes/foils/misdirections in your hand can allow you to skip alot of turns with relative ease.
As for bouncing the Stasis, I like Chain of Vapor because it costs only one mana and can be used in a pinch to take care of opposing threats.
Finally, on the subject of mana, a Forsaken City can be a lifesaver in the event that you aren't drawing Islands to feed the Stasis, as it can untap ad infinitum.
