Embargo

Enchantment

Nonland permanents don't untap during their controllers' untap steps.

At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life.

Bosium Strip dig thru the yard when you need to.

Muddle the Mixture grab Oracle.

Misdirection protect Oracle.

Embargo maybe? You run so few nonland permanents it might be worth it. Could buy you time while you dig for Oracle.

Thanks for the comment, SufferFromEDHD, I should probably add the Theme/Gimmick to this deck's hubs now that you mention it ;)

Those cards are all excellent, I would especially love to put Embargo in... it would be my commander if it could be XD

Cool lands list. I know your focus is on theme/gimmick but there are a few cards worth considering just to streamline the strategy.

Crucible of Worlds , Ramunap Excavator , Splendid Reclamation , Trade Secrets , Embargo , Manabond and Treasure Hunt especially Treasure Hunt = draw your deck

Grind on Nezahal Counterspells

cool deck! i have never played against a nezahal deck, it looks interesting.
if you want to draw cards, i have to recommend Recurring Insight. if you can make sure it goes off (which you should be able to with all your counters) you can usually draw 12 - 14 cards for just 6 mana. really great.
the other card i have to recommend is Turnabout. looks like your deck is going to the late game, not trying to combo out early on. when you have a lot of lands on the field, turnabout can really pump up your mana.
given that you are heading to the late game, i would usually run boring rocks like Worn Powerstone and Palladium Myr over Mana Vault and Basalt Monolith because they actually net you mana in the long run. but that is kind of a personal choice.
also, once it comes out you could look at Bonders' Enclave over Blighted Cataract.
also you say you are slowing down your opponents but you are avoiding stax, but in case you want to reconsider there are some good options in blue: Frozen Aether, Embargo, Mana Breach, Rising Waters, Standstill, Shimmer, Sunder, Stasis, Mana Breach.... just sayin you got options.
finally you have so many great spells in your deck, it is a shame you only get to cast them once! a little recursion goes a long way, i love to run cards like Archaeomancer, Call to Mind, Mission Briefing and Recall.
anyway, those are my thoughts and hope you find them helpful! keep having fun and cheers!
