I created a wall of text comment and then lost it, so this will be shorter.Looking through the deck it feels like you are lacking an overall theme, especially one that ties in with your commander. I'd suggest sorting the cards into piles of what they do, like countering or tutoring and the like, and reduce the overall number of themes your deck is running.
The commander feels the most underused, with blue and white you have a huge potential for tapping and untapping her to blow up/steal creatures while using black to grab them from the graveyard if you should choose.
But I haven't played against the deck, so it could be that I'm just deadwrong about having issue with the theme. Just food for thought

When I first made the deck, my General was there more for the colors that she is, and the quick answer she can be.
The deck actually flows pretty nicely, but it seems like something is gumming it up.
I just found out about the Thousand-Year Elixir , and when I saw that card, I knew it was great with my general.
Sun Titan
, Doomed Traveler
, Transcendent Master
, Everflowing Chalice
, Guul Draz Assassin
, Lighthouse Chronologist
, Portent
, Salt Flats
, and Salt Marsh
are the cards I question.
Do you think any other cards could be the problem?

Replace your Salt Flats and your Salt Marsh with Godless Shrine and Watery Grave . But if you can use http://manabasecrafter.com/r/JYEhV to see if there are any lands you like better that aren't shocks. I prefer them but some people don't care for em.
The Sun Titan has quite a few creatures in your deck to bring back, but I feel he'd be better used if more of them had some ETB effects. You do have three(ish) that trigger something, and a few more that have a decent sack effect. But overall I don't think he can be utilized properly in this setup to be worth keeping in, regardless of how good he is on his own.
I don't care for the doomed traveler in commander, and everthing else seems pretty decent in the deck.

Those would be amazing lands to add. I love the shock ones, but I did not really want to spend too much. I could try to find a card place and trade some people or something I guess.
That is exactly how I feel about the titan, it is awesome, just not running too well here.

Updated those lands into need to acquire list. Those would be exactly what I want, thanks for that. I have not seen that site before, I will check it out.

haha, forgot about Transcendent Master . He seems a bit mana intensive, but this is commander so if he works well for you then the mana doesn't really matter.
Anyways, some random suggestions for theme or utility,
Aphetto Alchemist - Repeatable is nice
To Arms! - there are loads of spells like these in white and blue. But not really sure if it is worth it without some way of getting them again out of your graveyard.
Coffin Queen - A nice follow up after blowing their creature up with your commander.
Stasis - ehhhhh
Freed from the Real - Also repeatable.
Fatestitcher - Repeatable.

I would like to remove the Transcendent Master .
OOO Coffin Queen I forgot about her. I might have one somewhere. Fatestitcher , and the Aphetto Alchemist look cool too.

+1 for having a deck name that immediately made Dubstep Dishwasher start running through my head

With your boss you should have a few ways to sacrifice creatures so you can take em, kill em and repeat. Also untapping or bouncing would work well (in addition to those mentioned above, maybe Tidewater Minion , Familiar's Ruse , Cloudstone Curio etc.). If you want to be a jerk the Tidewater Minion and Aphetto Alchemist both go infinite with Illusionist's Bracers . Lots of blue untap things. I would do a search for cards that sacrifice first and foremost. Gonna log off and look up one card real quick.

Mistmeadow Witch
=) ... if you exile your boss she comes back untapped, exile your opponents creatures and they have summoning sickness, lose counters + enchantments etc. I used that card a lot in a deck with Springjack Shepherd
and Godhead of Awe
... Death by Goat but really...you can get some cool effects by saccing your foes creatures that you control...mostly all black i bet but some good combos.

I do not know any of the cards from those sets. Thank you very much for the suggestions. Just looked up what you said about clones, and that changes things. The clones were in there just as a general killer, so might take them out. Also looks like I need to get a tezzeret.
October 9, 2013 1:09 a.m.
Didgeridooda says... #15
Not tezzeret, I mean the other guy. I meant Venser
October 9, 2013 1:13 a.m.
Didgeridooda says... #16
Removing Island , Deathless Angel , and Transcendent Master . Adding venser, Vesuva , and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad .

Or i might keep the master, and remove ornithopter.

With how many levelers there are, I am thinking Training Grounds might be a good idea.

Just learned you can use off color fetches, and old school off color duals. Putting them in the sideboard for now. But as soon as I get them in the deck I will move them over.

Mirrorworks
is out, just thought it would be fun to try. Mimic Vat
also most likely though I have not played it yet.
Also on the bubble is Guul Draz Assassin
Probably add an Animate Dead . Guess I am looking for a couple more to put in here.

Hi there, ah yes Rubinia Soulsinger 's evil twin! I like the Esper color combo a lot but I ultimately went with Bant because I love green.
I've actually tried a few of these cards out in my previous iterations of Rubinia, the Home Wrecker or other decks. Lighthouse Chronologist is a sweet card but it always put a target on me.
You seem to have the counters covered. I think there could be some room for extra spot removal and possibly board wipes.
Have you playtested this list? How does it run or how would it like to run?
October 29, 2013 3:44 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #22
This is my deck. Well it runs like a champ honestly, but there is always room for improvement. The Lighthouse Chronologist is a big deal, but I normally play 2 headed giant, or 1v1. So the target is on everyone.
I am getting my green together to make a green red blue I think. I do not own a Path to Exile or it would be in here.
Mirrorworks , Mimic Vat , Guul Draz Assassin , Transcendent Master are all on the bubble. I had Sun Titan but he is in and out.
October 29, 2013 4:02 p.m.
I feel like Path to Exile is a better card in EDH than Journey to Nowhere . Not only is it an instant (and one mana less), but enchantment destruction won't bring the creature back. Likewise, I tend to prefer Oblation to Oblivion Ring , especially since the former can tuck unwanted generals.
October 30, 2013 9:32 p.m.
Oh, and I don't see any regeneration in this deck. Why not run Wrath of God or Damnation rather than Day of Judgment ?
October 30, 2013 9:34 p.m.
Didgeridooda says... #25
I like Oblation . I have never seen that one before. I would use Damnation if I got one, and put the board wipe back in. I go back and forth with the board wipe. I was going to take Day of Judgement?!?!?!! out. I did have Wrath of God , but removed that already. Meant to take them both out. I just do not need board wipe.
I know I should have the board wipe in here. I just need my friends to make a deck where it is needed.
I do not own a Path to Exile or it would be in here. It is already on my list of cards to trade for.
Didgeridooda says... #1
I am wanting to replace Salt Flats , Salt Marsh , and Transcendent Master at the least. Thinking of Adarkar Wastes , and a Path to Exile .
Maybe take out Sun Titan as well.
