I've been out of the game for over a year (since Born of the Gods came out) and I'm getting the itch again...
I lost my old playgroup and I'm getting desperate enough to check out my LGS scene. I'm taking apart my Mimeoplasm combo deck since I'm sure everyone is more than tired of seeing this guy and I don't want to look like a cutthroat ******** right off the bat.
My idea is to go with a vague "answer anything" deck. All my other EDH decks are VERY centered on the General and I want to make this a bit more relaxed. Vorosh can make a nice finisher and I've never had a dragon General before, so why not?
Here's my rough list.
Any good utility cards I've missed out on? I just want to be the guy to stop the combo or kill the infinite creature token hoard.
Have you considered Trickbind? It's a great answer that's hard to answer.
I didn't think about it. I was running Voidslime since its not so narrow. Is there room for 2 stifle effects? The hardest part is deciding what to take out!
Well, I'm trying to hate out graveyards rather than utilize them, since EDH uses the graveyard as a resource so damn much. I'm not running anything that positively interacts with them so Mimeoplasm and Tasigur are out.
I already have Drana as my control deck and I don't want people thinking this is a Damia control deck right off the bat. Her draw power is in the 99 though.
Vorosh just seemed the least threatening to other people and offers a fairly cheap and possibly huge threat later on. This is meant to be a "get to know the people and environment" deck.

My Vorosh deck has been trying Destructor Dragon as part of a Dragon mini-theme; it might make a good partner for the Acidic Slime.
