Gideon Jura could provide a solid win condition. I use him in my UW control. He combos with Lightmine Field and Day of Judgment, both of which could be good additions in their own right.
Also, I gotta second Mana Leak. It's my favorite counterspell. I've had maybe half a dozen times when they actually pay in a hundred games, even late game, although you are right; they do give the opponent the opportunity, even if I've never seen it. I might just play against people who make poor choices. You could always run Oblivion Ring or Grasp of Darkness in Vapor Snag's place.
My friends and I play a cool style of EDH where you don't have to use one ofs the whole time, and I was wondering how you're supposed to use Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir?
I wasn't playing very much in Time Spiral and such, and so I missed a lot of what he was used in.
Any list would be appreciated, and vets from around TS/PC/FS should pipe in!
Four Boggart Ram-Gang is really the only way to go with him. He's just so good. I like Hellhole Flailer a lot, and he's a solid dude, and sort of underused.
I canibalized two decks last night and made this from the remains, and was wondering if it looked like a decent aggro. I'm 99% of the time a control player, so I don't quite know how good it is just from looks.
You could use a ton of elementals, since they have banana evokes, usually. Try Faultgrinder as well as the two suggested above and FTK. Gatekeeper of Malakir could work as well.
Just had a great idea; Bloodghast could be amazing here.
I haven't built a deck in a long, long time and am trying to get back into Magic. I look through the new cards and I see her. My soulmate.
I'm trying to build a deck around Vraska the Unseen and I don't know how to go about it. I know it'd probably have something with Putrefy. Maybe even splash red for Terminate and Broodmate Dragon or something? I'm getting a couple Garruk Relentless from a buddy, so I'd like to incorporate him somehow, so maybe BRG tokens could work.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or decklists they've already made. I'm trying to keep it a little cheap (that pretty much just reads "no dredge") but I'm not against spending a bit since Christmas is coming up and even University students have a bit of extra something something then.
Okay, so the main idea here is to use Liquimetal and Transmuter to turn their creatures/permanents all metallic and such, then eat them with Hoard-Smelter/Steal them with Domineer/blow them up with shatter. We use blue with artifact lands for card draw, and as an alternate wincon with Igniter. Suggestions?
Note: Remember that we're not trying to blow up our own stuff here, so the Myr are there for an almost endless cycle of chumps and as slight ups for Igniter.

I considered Garruk Relentless and Ajani, Caller of the Pride but didn't know if they'd fit.
Any advice is apprecoated.

That's a landbase that might work, for what your budget probably is. 20 lands is a little scant for such a color heavy deck.
I might just get rid of the myr for more draw and more burn.

I've had a mono blue ninja deck for a long time now, and I think that the inclusion of another color really helps.
UR seems a little silly, as does UW, so I decided to do UG.
I tried UB, with the rats, but they weren't very impressive, on the whole, since Okiba-Gang Shinobi and Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni were the only stellar ones.
I tried to work in crazy card advantage with Eternal Witness and Yavimaya Elder, but they're not sneaky enough to be worth it.
Suggestions are appreciated.
