This is heavily based on donald's build of edric which I really liked, minus all of the more expensive cards. As it sits I am missing 5 cards. I want more ways to slow down my opponents, more evasion dudes, strong pumps like ascension. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure that hybrid mana cards, like Judge's Familiar must all be accounted for in the color-identity of the Commander, so only U, G, and U/G dudes allowed.
Thought Nibbler seems pretty bad. There are other 1 drops with evasion, and this deck likes drawing cards and sandbagging counters, so reducing your hand size seems like a significant drawback. Also, in multiplayer I think landwalk is slightly better than flying for evasion. Consider some of these budget options:

That said, Quirion Ranger, perhaps?

As for more tricks/disruption/interaction, some of these are pretty good:
Depends on what kind of effects you are looking for.
