I run dralnu myself, and I'm just happy to see someone else who does too. I've dound that Empty the Pits is a great alternate win con, and some other cards you should run are Stinkweed Imp, Minamo, School at Water's Edge, Dakra Mystic, and Toils of Night and Day.

Just curious - what's the main wincon? All I really see is Bribery effects, stealing/copying creatures, and maybe Dralnu beats? The control matchup looks like it might be hard to win

Yeah the deck does lack a solid wincon right now outside of Reins of Power, Bribery + Rite of Replication, etc. I tried combo with Doomsday but it was less fun to win with. I think something like Army of the Damned or Empty the Pits might be good to try.

Yeah, a good insurance policy is to run Boseiju, Who Shelters All to ensure whatever instant/sorcery you use as a win-con resolves. Also, do you ever run into problems with Dralnu's drawback? I considered running him for my EDH deck, but I settled on Wydwen since I didn't want a Blasphemous Act or something to just totally blow me out.

Oh, also just a few suggestions. Go for the Throat is better than Doom Blade in like 90% of all situations, and Hero's Downfall is a strict upgrade to Murder. You might want to run some more impactful artifacts such as Mindslaver, Duplicant, or Lightning Greaves (as a replacement for Swiftfoot Boots) to make Fabricate worth running. I think Mystical Teachings is also worth running in any U/B deck, as is Countersquall. Decree of Pain has also served me well, but that might just be because I play 1v1 against an Edric deck a lot and an uncounterable pseudo-boardwipe on the cycle is great against that.

Thanks for the input, I plan to buy Greaves and Downfall once I get some more money after finishing my modern deck. Mystical Teachings was something I forgot as well.

I am hesitant to run conditional, cheap counters with no benefit like Negate and Countersquall; Dismiss like effects are what I prefer for more casual multiplayer games.

Yeah for multiplayer I would have to agree with you about Countersquall. My deck is more or less an optimized 1v1 list that doesn't follow the french ban list so that I can play multiplayer if I want. One more suggestion is Lim-Dul's Vault. That card is absolutely insane at finding anwers, win-cons, anything really.
