I was considering The Mimeoplasm , but I didn't include it for the same reason I ultimately cut Geth, Lord of the Vault and Havengul Lich . The efficacy of the card is entirely dependent upon the gamestate and I found myself encountering very few situations in which it would have been helpful and even fewer where it would be better than the included alternatives.
As a side note, Seedborn Muse + Magus of the Future /Future Sight + Leyline of Anticipation /]Vedalken Orrery (and possibly Oracle of Mul Daya and Sensei's Divining Top ) gives some of the most broken control I've ever seen. Add Volrath's Stronghold and suddenly the Venser, Shaper Savant , Glen Elendra Archmage , and Mystic Snake in my graveyard are looking pretty strong.
I also had a game where I Mimic Vat -imprinted Mystic Snake ...

Mimic vat is a fun card. One of my personal favorites was when i had Seedborn Muse , a Parallel Lives and an imprinted Fleshbag Marauder . Which caused alot of hate overall. Every turn each opponent had to sac 2 creatures.

On the topic of the deck. +1. I like the general idea the only problem, which is hard to fix, single target spells like your counter-spells tend to be less useful than multi-target spells like wraths.

While the counterspells are of variable usefulness (moreso in multiplayer games), they offer quite a bit of utility. They allow me to stop an opponent from resolving something game-changing or protect my own win-cons. I've never been disappointed to draw a Mana Drain ...

Skyshroud Claim seems like playable ramp, but I'm not sure if I want to swap Cultivate for it. I think I might try doing so.

if you're running damia than Library of Alexandria or the infinitely cheaper Magus of the Library are both good choices

Except Library of Alexandria is banned in EDH. The effect isn't terribly impressive, though. The only time I would need the draw power is in the early game when I don't have Damia, Consecrated Sphinx , Phyrexian Arena , or Rhystic Study out. Even then, I rarely have seven in hand if I have a good start. It's usually closer to five.

I would play Realms Uncharted as opposed to Cultivate or Skyshroud Claim . Realms is instant speed, and can find you either all dual or multi colored lands, or nice tech lands such as Cabal Coffers or Boseiju, Who Shelters All . Seriously look into it.
When I ran a Bant control deck I used Mystical Tutor to grab Life from the Loam , and then used Realms Uncharted to get Wasteland , Strip Mine , Command Tower , and Reflecting Pool . I always got the Command Tower and Reflecting Pool, then just Loamed on my next draw and started blowing up lands.

The land tutoring hasn't really been much of an issue since I have Skyshroud Claim and Primeval Titan . I don't do much land recursion - the Crucible of Worlds is only for the event that someone takes out Cabal Coffers or Volrath's Stronghold . Realms Uncharted would be nice, but without any recursion either in hand or readily available I'd have to avoid finding high-power utility lands with it.
I was thinking about adding Mindbreak Trap or Time Stop to help shut down other combo/control builds. Opinions on that approach?
March 14, 2012 9:29 a.m.
I've got quite a similar list to this. Really love damia, people just don't recognise how absurd she is until they're locked out. I've got Mindbreak Trap thrown into the deck, its sometimes relevant to be stopping the stuff like Obliterate and even the combos. Most of the time, Time Stop isn't something I'm really hoping to draw or even use. I have enough other things to hold back anything that would be posing a threat.

You have a bunch of grab 2 creature combo pieces...why not put Mikeaus the Unhallowed and [[Triskilleon]

That combo is kind of vulnerable and the creatures don't have any other purpose in the deck. All the combo creatures in the deck have additional uses in utility capacities - I don't think Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion do much for me in that regard. There's enough recursion to make Mikaeus unnecessary as a utility creature.

After some extensive playtesting and lots of BUG combo-control mirrors, I'm realizing once more how broken this deck is. It has now been tweaked to ramp even more.

I've made some changes to speed the deck up and add some more control.
Notably, I've included Mana Web as an anti-control card. I want to see how it performs and I'm hoping that it will devastate control decks in combination with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth .

loving the Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger - Mana Web synergy
loving the Primeval Titan - Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - Cabal Coffers synergy and how it interacts with vorinclex
loving the Palinchron in there
so many beautiful combinations, nice job
+1

I've only dropped Mana Web in one game since its inclusion, but I think I like the impact (in multiplayer, at least). It's criminally effective with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and it forces the other two combo-control players to make extremely calculated decisions or risk losing because of a single tap.

no this is the edh i wanna play at our tourney (30 card proxy ftw)

There's an EDH listing on the hub page, but I think the idea was to use the deck format to show that it's EDH.
This deck took first place at a local EDH tourney, which was run in three matches of four-man pods. I took first in pods one and two, then second in pod three (mostly because I spent an enormous amount of resources controlling a Teferi-Pool deck from achieving game lock and simultaneously trying to stop a Riku deck from gaining in board state).
