I think an ability you're overlooking is shadow, Infiltrator il-Kor played for it's suspend cost, Looter il-Kor , Thalakos Seer , Thalakos Sentry . you may also want to consider Keen Sense and Curiosity for some additional card draw.

Infiltrator and Looter could work, even tho' I like to be able to block creatures when needed (not that it happens very often but still :D).
I'm waiting for M15 since there seems to be some new cards for this deck. Quickling and Military Intelligence so far, hopefully more.
It's getting harder and harder to make cuts for new cards. At the moment there are only two creatures that I can replace without a thought and those are Augury Owl and Spire Owl . For creatures, my priority list goes like this:
1.) 1-drop Rogue with avoidance
2.) 1-drop creature with avoidance
3.) 1-drop creature with other utility
4.) 2-drop Rogue with avoidance
5.) 2-drop creature with other utility
6.) 2-drop creature with avoidance

Judge's Familiar is hybrid blue/white card and Edric can't have white cards, otherwise it would be fantastic for this deck.

I use Delver of Secrets Flip in my build (still in progress). It seems unstable, but it flips a lot of the time with about a quarter to a half of the edric deck generaly being control, and Noxious Revival , Reclaim , and Mystical Tutor really help, too.
Also, Spiketail Hatchling seems like it should be in here.
If it's within your budget, Exploration is only around $10 with conspiracy; same with Stifle ...

You can remove Erayo from your maybes. With the latest EDH update, it has become banned. http://mtgcommander.net/rules.php

Ah yes, totally forgot that new change. Not just banned as a commander but banned altogether.

Surprised you don't have Archetype of Imagination in this deck.

Skarrgan Pit-Skulk would be useful if only it would read "Power greater than - can't block it.", now it can be blocked by any creature with power 1/2 or more. :(
There are few cards that can totally wreck this deck but every deck has those ultimate hate cards. One of the worst cards for this deck is propably Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite if it hits the battlefield. Other nasty cards are Supreme Verdict and Volcanic Fallout but you can always side Wrap in Vigor against those.
As for Archetype of Imagination , the effect is nice but the card is way too expensive for this deck, also pretty much every creature already has avoidance. I like to keep everything as cheap as possible to keep up the tempo and be able to cast several spells every turn without extra mana ramp.

I like the addition of Biomass Mutation for a win condition. Here is an alternative Budget Edric deck tech for around $24 Edric, Spymaster of Trest

Hey Fangorian, thanks for updating this deck often, I love upgrading mine alongside yours! My girlfriend was playing this the other day and managed to take four turns in a row and kill us all with Faeries because of Notorious Throng. Many laughs were had.

You're welcome. :)
Notorious Throng is just beautiful if you can cast if couple of times in a row. First there's nothing and then suddenly faeries, faeries everywhere!

As a straight up flying man for 1 blue(but also a faerie rogue) if you ignore his second ability that lets you draw cards if you have more than one. That's gonna make it in the deck, right?
June 24, 2015 2:22 p.m.
Oh yeah. Faerie Miscreant is a perfect card. :)
Even tho' her etb-ability is useless she is both faerie and rogue and that's what matters. More power for Notorious Throng and Spellstutter Sprite!

Yeah, the etb is mostly nothing, but I will feel very good if I ever get to copy Faerie Msicreant with Phantasmal Image. Btw, great deck. I've had it proxied since October and have enjoyed it to no end.

Triumph of the Hordes could work but I myself dislike it, mostly because (relatively) high manacost and sorcery speed.
Even if I'd had enough mana to protect Triumph with counters, opponent could still have spot removal and just take 9 poison counters to the face since it's unlikely that I can cast Triump again.
With extra turn -cards like Time Warp Triumph might work better as I would have "more time" to get creatures out and have mana open.
I guess it's a matter of opinion, I just try to keep this deck as gimmick as possible. :D
