It's slow, but it can take over an entire game. I think it could be a one-of in "draw-go" UW control decks. What do you think?

Meh it is a hard stretch IMO.  I personally don't see {elspeth suns champion} making much head way into eternal formats.  But I am also the guy who spent $70 on 2 foil {domri rade} cuz I think he will pick up steam in eternal formats.  With that said....I can emphasize with you curiosity....but time will be the ultimate factor.

DeathlyFoiend

It will not. It is not entirely a wincon like Gideon Jura and it is harder to cast than most other things.

Also, Domri is a good card but very weak in a combo meta. Better when control takes off. It will be used, but not a staple.

How about {Aetherling}? I can see it getting some play.

No way no how.  6 CMC is way to high
