Dralnu Control EDH deck

Basic idea of course being control the board as much as possible, set up certain combos:

Spell Crumple/Hinder or Vessel of Endless Rest with Tunnel Vision will eliminate an opponent very quickly.

Sorin Markov takes an opponent down to 10 life. The remaining 10 life is normally pretty quick.

Any of the interactions with Deadeye Navigator are pretty hard to come back from as well.

Infinite Mana with a Blue Sun's Zenith allows me to deck an opponent at instant speed.

Interactions with Deadeye Navigator :

---

With Venser, Shaper Savant returns all my opponents' permanents to their hands and returns spells to their hands as well.

With Mulldrifter - draws 2 cards for 2 mana

With Rune-Scarred Demon - 2 mana reusable tutor

With Snapcaster Mage - flashback to lots of spells

With Mnemonic Wall/ Archaeomancer - return important instants or sorceries to hand.

With the above pairing and infinite mana, I can Boomerang all permanents to their owner's hands.

With Palinchron/Peregrine Drake- infinite mana

With Draining Whelk - Reusable 2 mana counter spell.

---

Other Interactions:

Ghostly Flicker is a game saver in many cases. Can be used in a number of ways including providing just enough mana to go infinite earlier than expected.

Archaeomancer/Mnemonic Wall + Palinchron/Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker gives me infinite mana.

Palinchron with Phantasmal Image gives me infinite mana.

I know the mana base obviously needs work. That'll take some time to acquire the right cards.

Any help and suggestions are more than welcome though.
