The sketchy amount of win cons leaves me scared you might just lose to creature removal at the right time.

Kaalia with haste

Sure of stagnation and ulamog both seem very bad. In terms of sire, they can just stop playing lands. For Ulamog, it seems extremely difficult to get to ten mana, and if you do utter end takes care of him and people are playing more of that card and bring to light to go get it.

My thoughts were just disrupt and counter to stop the masses before they are a threat and counter the rest .... I play a very 1-4-1 style so the deck is based around my strengths .... I understand there are very few win cons but that makes room for more abuse on them I enjoy 60 turn games lol

Would you consider dropping a negate and the kologhan for {dragonlord kolaghan} x2? He works wonders :P

I have but the popularity of blighted fen and dense creature removal in my meta I made the choice to go non DL Kolaghan ... The dash has also save a game more due to that one less mana giving me access to a defense spell like negate for cards like celestial flare

Understandable, but i still think hes really good maybe sideboard him for the atarka red decks or other heavy creature decks? Also {crux of fate} could be better than languish for you considering the dragons, have you tried it?
