... doh, well... you got a list of alternates then, maybe some sideboard material.

Have you considered adding creatures whose power and toughness are the number of card in your hand ?Example cards: Aeon Chronicler, Kagemaro, First to Suffer, Overbeing of Myth, & Sturmgeist.
Although it's thoroughly banned and very expensive Shahrazad quite thoroughly fits the theme of this deck,Because it's famous for dragging out games and forcing your opponent to concede out of boredom.Ps. Run Enchanted Evening with Sphere of Safety for ridiculous Creature lockdown.
Hedron Crab Might be another good candidate for this deck.
If you should decide to main deck Oran-Rief, the Vastwoodmaybe swap out Arbor Elf for Voyaging Satyr so you could get some extra counters out of vastwood.**(Voyaging Satyr untaps any land)
Why is Reflector Mage banned though ?
.... shouldn't this have more cards ?
.... Dude, did you notice how valuable your cards are ?
lol, This has got to be the most expensive EDH deck I have seen so far.
(ahh ok I had to click on Ravenous Deamon to see the other side)Archdemon of Greed {B} Creature - Demon 9/9 Flying, trample At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a Human. If you can't, tap Archdemon of Greed and it deals 9 damage to you.So this is what you where planning on donating.
A set of "Oran-Rief, the Vastwood" lands might be a good idea.
... good point, I was thinking it died during upkeep if it had no counters ......I suppose he could swap out time bug for a sacrifice outlet.it doesn't interact with anything as far as I can tell.
If it was fading instead of vanishing, then yea it would be a loop.
Oh, I recently made a deck that probably fits into this category. http://www.mtgvault.com/n810/decks/bad-life-choices/The basic theme of the deck is that you let your opponent make a lot of choiceslike do they let you draw 3 cards or will they take 5 damage instead,or are they going to let me play a cheep powerful creature, or destroy one of their lands.Lot of obscure and just plain weird cards in here.
You could splash white for Solemnity,and then your Chronozoa would enter play with no vanishing counters, so you would get free ones every time one died.
.... What is this again ?
Perhaps add a Rogue's Passage or two as a backup plan to make your first unblockable creature.
Ever get that dejavu feeling ?http://www.mtgvault.com/n810/decks/irate-pirates/
http://www.mtgvault.com/n810/decks/spike-king/maybe this will give you some ideas.
Have you considered Squee's Revenge ?I think each win would count toward Chance Encounterweather or not you ended up wining overall and drew cards.
