After Triad of Fates had been spoiled I was fairly ecstatic about the creature as a general (contrary to most other's opinions). I'm working on this list which is fairly built around the "W,TExile target creature that has a fate counter on it, then return it to the battlefield under its opponent's control." for ETB tricks and also the "B,T Exile target creature that has a fate counter on it. Its controller draws two cards." as both removal and a subtoken theme draw engine.
Conjurer's Closet? I'm also building a Triad deck right now, and it sounds good for doubling up on the Triads' abilities.

I was really hoping for Triad to be better: it's my favorite color combo and my favorite artist, but I think I'ma stay with my 'Ghosty (Obzedat). Glad you can give them the attention they deserve!
As for working on abusing the **** outta them: Lightning Greaves & Swiftfoot Boots - cheap protection, and start using them ASAP Illusionist's Bracers & Rings of Brighthearth- Twice the fun! Rings also work well with fetchlands
Since you already have O-Stone, and that's the only thing else that works with Fate counters, I'd suggest using everything in the book to get it: Enlightened Tutor necessary here. Also hits a lot of the other suggestions for abusing Triad.
As Benny504 said, those two work well too.
In your OP, I think you should better word your intentions: you say you're wanting to use their abilities, which seems kind of obvious. I had to re-read your post a bit to realize you want to be targeting YOUR stuff, so you can get more appropriate suggestions.
If you are looking for what to cut:
-Chains of Mephistopheles, Painful Quandary: You don't really flesh out the prison idea, and I think you're just going to get the bad types of attentions from opponents without the strong board presence without building 100% prison
-Mortify, Hero's Fall, other targeted removal: this is something your general excels at, and you can use these slots for more draw/general abuse pieces
Hope that helps!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
