Some cards I've considered are: Yavimaya's Embrace: Turns their utility creatures into my fat utility creatures, yoinks their primeval titans and eldrazi, etc. High cost and easy to kill though. Evacuation: Would be my only mass removal, syncs well with the ETB's I run. Spin Into Myth: Would be my only board Into The Roil/Repeal: Creates great tempo. Dissipate: Seems unnecessary because of Hinder and Spell Crumple. Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur: Way Expensive, but would bring up my creature curve. Yeva, Nature's Herald: I don't think I run enough green creatures to warrant it. Thrun, The Last Troll: Tough as nails, bigger than most of my drops Man-o'-War/Riftwing Cloudskate: More tempo, works well with crystal shard. Scroll Rack: Awesome library manipulation card. Not sure if it's worth it though. Shardless Agent: works well with crystal shard and library manipulation but I run a lot of counterspells.
Temporal Mastery seems like my weakest link in the deck but it does go well with mystical tutor and all the library manipulation to turn it from a Beacon of Tomorrows to a Time Walk. Voltaic Key is another iffy inclusion.
Thoughts?

Edric decks generally thrive at an extremely low curve. Like, most of your creatures should be 1-2 mana. In a 1v1 deck, this is doubly important, as many 1v1 decks are incredibly cutthroat.

Magus of the Future is absolute gold in the deck though. Ramping up to a turn 3 Future Sight/Magus is one of the best things this deck can do, it's pretty devastating. I can see the point about Teferi, maybe. I'll think about replacing him with Jace's Phantasm. The point here isn't to make another Edric aggro deck. Edric's inclusion was actually completely arbitrary: there just aren't any other UG legends that seemed as useful to the deck, it's not built around him - it was just him vs. momir vig and vig seemed weaker.

Cut the overcosted jank like Magus of the Future, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, and all the other creatures over three mana. Run lots of Scryb Sprites, Flying Men, and other cheap, efficient, evasive G/U weenies. I would start by taking a look at this list, although it's for multiplayer. The only major change to that list I would make is to reconsider the landwalkers (less useful with only one opponent) in favor of other 1-3 mana evasive creatures. Jace's Phantasm is an auto-include since that decklist was posted. Briarberry Cohort, Cloudskate, Gaea's Skyfolk, Jhessian Infiltrator, Invisible Stalker and Wingcrafter are all cards worth considering.
