I really like the concept of this! Just to protect your fatties from a stray Doomblade, maybe consider 1-2 of Not of This World (if you feel like you can sacrifice a few cards to squeeze it in). Too bad Leveler costs a bit too much to be within your speed :) Also, for a tiny bit more speed, I would consider Rite of Flame. It obviously won't work in all situations since you may need blue to cancel an ability, but imagine a t1 torpor orb and t2 Dreadnought!

I like Ulasht and wanted to make an EDH deck with him as well :) Just a few things. Biorhythm is banned in EDH format. Also, since your commander is highly dependent on creatures you control, I would take out Ryusei... seeing as how he would destroy a good portion of your creatures when he falls. While he's a decent 1 drop, I never had much love for Tattermunge Maniac. Some creatures I would consider are Tattermunge Witch, Boggart Ram Gang, Taurean Mauler, Boartusk Liege, Chameleon Colossus, Drove of Elves, Apocalypse Hydra, Godtracker of Jund (maybe...), Bloodbraid Elf, Spellbreaker Behemoth (since you have a lot of big fellas), Dragon Broodmother, and stuff like that :3 Of course, you could just be building it from stuff you already have. In that case, carry on.
I'll try to make one with just red and blue and see what i can manage. It will most likely be the same minus switching the rituals to red and tendrils to Brain Freeze.
I really wish there was a card that DIDN'T have 1 toughness to use :( I have a deck with deathtouch and pingers in it... of course the deathtouch isn't even needed with creatures that have 1 toughness. I guess in that case I could just put in some more removal. Good suggestion with the grapeshot... I only use tendrils because of Dark Ritual, but I guess that's not the best reason to do it.
I like the acceleration you are able to put forth with this, tho Beseech doesn't work too well with mana acceleration. I kinda have a deck like this but Red and Black with kobolds. Do you have any trouble getting out your combo or is your fetch enough? Check out mine if you get a chance. Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=226906
Hey, if you could take the time, I made a deck kinda-sorta similar to this... except only black and red. I like your use of the Priest, as well as Perplex (I just used Dimir Machinations for my transmute engine). Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=226906
I agree with this :) Phyrexian Altar could also give you infinite mana to play Woodfall Primus (or... well... anything!) if you didn't happen to come across a Natural Order or produce mana for Archmage!
As long as you're throwing dragons into your graveyard, why not play more graveyard-to-play spells? :) I played around with Ur as commander a bit and I know I kinda wanted things like Breath of Life, Doomed Necromancer, Dread Return, False Defeat, Hell's Caretaker, Liliana, Miraculous Recovery, Animate Dead, Dance of the Dead, etc :)
