2l84that - Windfall or some other piece of card draw like a Fact or Fiction would be better. Day's Undoing just hurts in that it ends your turn. If you are able to give it flash in some way, based on existing cards in your deck, then it might have a spot. Misdirection can be a narrower free counterspell, but it also is really hard card disadvantage. It you are in pods with all combo decks, it may be of use, but otherwise, we have better counterspells. For Crop Rotation, the graveyard hate is still relevant. Also it can mana fix you or feed your LftL by getting you a fetch land in play. It hasn't lost its spot yet.

thatGuyneedsAusername - it is really solid. It is probably an auto include in every UBx midrange and control deck. It will most likely replace Counterbalance or Shadow of Doubt.

procy - Exploration wins out between the two, it is more consistent in the late game when you are looping LftL. The video was filmed back in December and it was in the middle some of the major changes I have documented in the change log.

Aladdin - not enough artifacts yet. You want 16-18 for opal to be a solid consideration if you aren't wheeling a lot.

Dejadal - More board clears, less spot removal. There has been a ton of discussion regarding this in our discord. However, I personally have played my older lists into Battlecruiser metas and had a good time. The big thing is that the deck is strong but aimed at different things. One of the core concepts of the deck is that a 4/5 will cover all your combat needs. In less powerful metas, people are dropping 6/6 keyword soup creatures pretty constantly and Tasigur just doesn't cut it. I've actually lost most of my games with this cEDH deck in Battlecruiser games. Specifically because it wasn't designed to play in the same meta. You will find yourself really heavily pressured. If you do tune the deck with more board control, the deck is really solid and can get to an oppressive point.

dennisdegooijer - Tezz isn't great. Unlike Teferi or some Izzet decks, there are no silverbullets that you would be grabbing. He doesn't ramp enough to replace himself. He's just too much for too little.

Incubation druid is a solid budget replacement for bloomtender.

Underrealm Lich is just too slow for cEDH. Its a 5 mana do nothing until you draw a card.

Dimir Charm is a versatile answer to lots of various issues. It can stop tutors, it can stop timetwisters/windfalls or wraths. It can kill almost all the relevant commanders that may see play and want to stay on the battlefield, i.e. Tymna, both Selvalas, Thrasios, Vialsmasher, Captain Sisay, Yisan, Arcum, Baral, Brago, Circu, Grand Arbiter Augustin, JVP, Mizzix, Momir Vig, Rashmi, Tana, Varolz, etc. It can mill out top of deck tutors, if you feel that is the appropriate answer to them. And once you go infinite if you have no other win option, you can use it to mill out your opponents except for their last card. For the Necro and Ad naus discussion, you actually want to add Notion Thief to that mix. For Mass Card draw cards, most cEDH decks run two of those three. Necro just has fallen behind as it is hardest to cast and the slowest of card draw. As the game gets faster, you need to speed up the card draw sources and being able to leave up interaction then Ad Naus or Notion Thief on someone else's Windfall/Timetwister really makes a big difference.

Mystical tutor doesn't have enough targets and there is a balance between tutors and interaction that pushed it out. Also the fact that it is card disadvantage really adds to it falling away. Chain of Vapor is on the edge of coming in and out a lot. The real spot for it is in the Beast Within slot, however Beast Within is part of a infinite win. Frantic Search, while it is selection, it is also card disadvantage and is something we don't want to get back with Tasigur. The only non-land cantrip we have is Brainstorm. It is leaps and bounds above all the others. Nature's Claim is solid, but we need more universal removal in the general list, it would be a fine include if you are seeing a majority of stax elements that you need to get rid of in your local meta.

KBet - Expansion / Explosion is pretty solid. Mana Maze would not let you cast the spell again without something else cast in between. If you had a Isochron Scepter with Dramatic Reversal and a Copy Artifact as Scepter with Lightning Bolt under it, then you could alternate castings and get through an on board Mana Maze. That would require that you have at least 4 mana in non-land mana sources to keep the chain up.
