If you go into "edit" you can add Edric, Spymaster of Trest in the section for your general. This will have a picture show up for the deck and let people know who your general is without reading.

Oh he's there. It just looks like there is an image fail with him.

Or maybe the bastard is THAT sneaky? Hmmmm...

He's in your decklist. The commander belongs in the separate textbox on the right, directly under the description.

Here's in that text box too. If you visit his actual card page, you'll notice that he has no usable image in the system currently. He is just not rendering because tappedout lacks a good image.

No Kiora?

Hrm. Kiora, the Crashing Wave has some relevant abilities. Particularly the -1. But the +1 is less useful in multiplayer. There are just too many threats. I suppose I could play up the +1 ability as a political tool.

Planeswalkers get a lot of hate in my meta and she is very fragile. I want the deck to not attract too much attention. She's also expensive to acquire for a card that may not work out.

It is worth some a try. I'll proxy her up and give her a go and see how it goes. But I suspect it will be counter productive for the deck on the meta level.

Thanks for making me think on that one!

Rethink and Cyclonic Rift would be great here. Rethink just makes sure those high cost spells, never get to the field. If you add tutor's, revealing Rethink definitely makes the opponent think about laying down important plays.

Cyclonic Rift is a great option. Added to maybe list. I will likely replace AEtherize with it.

Rethink doesn't feel strong enough to me. I think I'd either want to run a straight up Counterspell or Dissipate or Exclude there. With the Isochron Scepter in the deck I would prefer to run a 2 CMC or less instant if possible to add synergy there.

The deck burns through it's own library pretty quickly. Having available mana to drop 2-3 creatures a turn is important so I have to keep the CMCs really low all around.
