Basically I tried to build a deck that is simply put... the jack of all trades.

It can control the pace of the game through several counter spells among other things. It has high kill potential with lethal combos. The only thing it doesn't really do is aggro mostly because i find aggro doesn't work in EDH the format is too controlly, though through the amount of ramp i have pulled off crazy turn 5 kills. With Prime Speaker Zegana you get to pick your hand to an extent, while the ramp in this deck will bring you to your late game power really quickly as well as allow you to put out creatures while still being ready with a counter should the need arise.

In short this deck has been working really well for me, so I wanted to hear other peoples opinions.

Mostly what you'll be doing early is just ramping as much as you can. Control your opponents with counter spells as best you can, but remember to be conservative. Often times what you will do while you ramp depend on the board, but most of the time it will be self explanatory once you actually see your hand. When you have enough mana you take off and pull out the combos that'll win you the game. These include.

• Avenger of Zendikar + Craterhoof Behemoth. This is almost always guaranteed lethal with the amount of ramp this deck can pull off you'll generally get anywhere between 10-15 lands by turn 7 so the amount of tokens you put down is insanely high. Side note if you really want to make certain you can pull it off add Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir into the mix and nobody can stop you.
• Eternal Witness/Archaeomancer + Conjurer's Closet/Crystal Shard + Time Warp. Do I even need to explain this one? take infinite turns draw until you win the game again if you add Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir into this combo you win the game when you do this it's that simple (Personally I added this combo in here as a fail safe I only do this if I can't win any other way)
• Palinchron + Deadeye Navigator. Infinite mana, infinite draw. Easy game, easy life
• Prime Speaker Zegana + Kalonian Hydra. This one is a personal favourite of mine Zegana enters with +1/+1 counters equal to the highest power among creatures you control and Kalonian hydra doubles the amount of counters on all your creatures whenever it attacks. This brings about lethal general damage incredibly quickly especially if you add Thassa, God of the Sea.
• Deadeye Navigator + Mystic Snake 2 mana repeatable counterspell plus if you have Seedborn Muse or Prophet of Kruphix in play with this combo your opponents simply can't play spells.
• Prime Speaker Zegana + Deadeye Navigator + Laboratory Maniac. Pretty simple draw till you can't draw no more and win the game with Laboratory Maniac in play.

These are the main combos that i use to win my games there are other ways, but these are the most straight forward and non-convoluted ones. Of course many of these cards can win you the game in conjunction with other cards as well as the ones mentioned.

Most cards on the maybe board have reasons for being there many because they work especially well against my specific play group Voidmage Husher being a great example of this.

Always feel free to ask questions about why a card is in the deck most of the cards have justifications.

Playing this deck with Deadeye Navigator Is basically pick a card add Deadeye Navigator to it and it's basically some sort of combo suggestions would be.

• Venser, Shaper Savant + Deadeye Navigator. Really strong bounce engine. Plus with infinite mana this is a game winning combo.
• Eternal Witness + Deadeye Navigator. amazing recursion engine.
• Diluvian Primordial + Deadeye Navigator. Use all your opponents spells against them.

The list goes on really there are so many things you can do with this card especially in this deck.
