Would Phantasmal Dragon be a good option for removal?
Jace's Phantasm is as strong once 10 or more cards are in my opponent's graveyard. The dragon isn't especially powerful or interesting, it's just a semi-strong illusion, and it's kinda fun that it is a dragon flavorwise.

A soul sister deck would give your friend a bit of trouble. If he's using Krovikan Mist , he's got a pretty heavy creature list. Could use more info on his playstyle. I wager he's going straight up aggro using dudes like Phantasmal Bear , Vapor Snag and Phantasmal Dragon but I could also see him doing something more control-like with Riftwing Cloudskate , Draining Whelk , meloku the cloud mirror and Counterspell since it sounds like he's pretty annoying.
A mid-range life gaining deck sounds like it will consistently give you more turns to play bigger threats and overall be winning more games. Blue has a lot of problem solving cards so I wouldn't rely on a single card to win you a game, especially if it can get countered. I'd lean more to redundancy and playing relevant cards.
Strategies that use creatures like Soul Warden , Thragtusk or making a deck around that new card Bishop of Wings since angels can block flyers or Suture Priest or Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Your list looks decent for a start actually. A couple of things I would recommend cutting are Fist of Suns, because it only saves you mana for Dragons that cost 7 mana or more (because Ur-Dragon already gives -1), and Tainted Strike because it won't kill a player in a single attack because you need 10 infect damage to kill and none of your creatures can deal 9 damage, except Atarka with double strike, and maybe Ramos. Maybe also Warstorm Surge since the cost is quite high, compared to Sarkhan's Unsealing.
A bit more ramp would help. Skyshroud Claim gives you untapped Forests, which is great if you have lands that are Forests and another type, e.g. Cinder Glade and Canopy Vista. Other ramp that adds good mana for its cost are Overgrowth, Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, and Coalition Relic.
You could add some cheaper Dragons to attack earlier, like Thunderbreak Regent, Territorial Hellkite, Verix Bladewing, and Phantasmal Dragon. Hellkite Tyrant has a useful effect. Among the bigger ones in your maybeboard, Broodmother, Intet, Scourge of the Throne, and Yosei could be helpful.
A bit more card draw would also help, like Temur Ascendancy which also gives haste, Elemental Bond, Garruk's Packleader, and Vanquisher's Banner. Defense of the Heart is always good if you own a copy.

In your description you list Phantasmal Dragon as a 4/4, but it's a 5/5. =)

You could add fetchlands and Strip Mine, Tectonic Edge, Wasteland. Miren, the Moaning Well for saccing.
Solemn Simulacrum and Commander's Sphere would be nice. Tezzeret the Seeker would be another planeswalker - especially nice to -4 him in this deck.
Krark-Clan Ironworks, Phyrexian Altar and Ashnod's Altar are some sac outlets.
You could cut Phantasmal Dragon and Quest for the Gravelord for example.

Is Phantasmal Dragon too slow? a 5/5 flyer is really powerful, and with it being a 4 drop, it means it cant be Abrupt Decay'd or Fatal Push'd (without revolt of course) in the first place, and would die to most other removal spells in the first place, besides like Lightning Bolt. Could be a good late game threat. Maybe it's too slow though. Anyway, +1, a great deck.
