I liked this idea, here's a quick list I thought of . Aether vial and bob seem necessary. Phantasmal Image is good cause it copies hunted horror and can help kill things like thrun or melira.
I like the idea. A while back there was a deck using perilous research + hatching plans, maybe you can use that too. Here's a quick list I made going towards a more control route.
I used to care about saying good games and shaking hands but it doesn't happen as often. I come from a sports background so I think sportsmanship is important but when comparing the two it feels different. In magic, there are so many more factors that involve luck, and misplays so when someone loses it is because they got stomped, got mana flooded/screwed, the opponent topdecked, and so on. When you misplay, its feels like the worst thing ever because you had full control of the decision. I wish it was so simple to say good game but its not.
Nowadays, I try to say thanks for the game if I win and good luck if I lose.
For those that play online, the zen fetchlands have been slowly creeping up. I advise getting them right now. ex verdant catacombs jumped 1 tix in a week (4 now) and its not even the ptq season, I can see it going to 5.5 or higher.
sorry i didn't read everything, its great that you are trying to lose weight.
Have you heard of this website: www.fit2fat2fit.com
its about a guy who purposely gain 60lbs and now is trying to lose it off. there can be some good pointers there.plus thousands around the world are following this guy and on their own path to losing weight.
Yes the card is good. Most people are trying to win with creatures so you always have a good shot of hitting, since they should be playing 10+ creatures. Plus some games can become slow or a stall, then the door really helps. It is helps your curve, since you can play it turn 2 and then activate whenever you have mana up. It's bad against blue because of squabs and flashback, red too so I would board it out. It's ok against the other three, just be careful if they have flashback cards like sever the bloodlines and creeping reconaissance. Overall I have been happy with the card.
The sideboard should have graveyard hate, artifact hate, hate for mirran crusader and probably more removal.
Image is good because it has a lot of utility, like copying mayor, , snap caster, opposing crusaders or killing elesh norn.
If you do want to add white to the deck, i would add the new monk, and o ring, then again, with white, you could just player crusader and hero plus swords making it an entire different deck.
A splash to consider is black, because it has instant speed removal, gives more use with snapcaster mage and can let us not play spells to flip mayor. Again the issue is the mana base.
I have the same idea but it's u/g ( more counters, gsz package, garruk). What's is the benefit of splashing white? It just makes the mana base worse. Playing day of judgment seems counter intuitive.
I like the idea but number and card choices are all over the place.
Why are you playing splinterfright? You can't even play it until one of your creatures dies.
I would pick a goal (aggro, midrange, ramp) and go from there .
I like it how they were trying to prevent turn 3 wins. Hive Mind, Dragonstorm anyone?
I am very interest in what decks are going to be made. It also looks like they are trying to push aggro with not banning aether vial and banning mental misstep.
@Melkor1010 nice find. i am in the same boat. i think selling a few is a good idea. Looking at your list i would sell the cheapest ones and keep the other.

Hero of Bladehold
Consecrated Sphinx
Birthing Pod
Why the first two? They just went up $2 in price, and I don't see this price going down.
As for birthing pod, I am just speculating like other people
