From my experience of playing against a pretty controlly TSG deck, while you definitely want some classic control instants and sorceries, you can get a good amount of value from switching some of you interactive effects over to creatures with ETBs or sacrifice effects so you can get extra value from your general. The most obvious starting point is the black ones that destroy creatures - Bone Shredder, Shriekmaw (both can easily get themselves into the yard), Ravenous Chupacabra etc. Kagemaro, First to Suffer can give you a board wipe. From the blue side of things, you have some counterspells like Mausoleum Wanderer (really benefits from being a 4/4), plus Venser, Shaper Savant.
If you want a wincon, the one I'll always recommend for this general is Mirror-Mad Phantasm. EoT Scarab God the MMP, activate it, mill your entire deck. On upkeep, Scarab God Laboratory Maniac, win on draw step.
