how about
Kira, Great Glass-Spinner
Vendilion Clique
Looter il-Kor
Wake Thrasher
Man-O’-War
Venser, Shaper Savant
Pestermite
Serendib Djinn
Vexing Sphinx
Carnivorous Death-Parrot (if you allow Un-cards)

Since the aggro creatures in blue are a lot worse than everything you get in the other colors, I would give it at least some support for a tempo deck in the spell section with stuff like
Snap
Repulse
Undo
Withdraw
Memory Lapse
Remand
Psionic Blast
Cryptic Command (tap mode)
Sleep
Opposition
Equilibrium

I have a different idea on what constitutes aggressive cards from you I think. *If* I was to push an aggressive blue deck I'd be running cards like this: Wake Thrasher Welkin Tern Aquamoeba Mistblade Shinobi Drifter il-Dal School of Piranha Gossamer Phantasm Illusionary Servant Boomerang Into the Roil Hoodwink Early drops and tempo gains.
