Solring, Signet, Walking Atlas.

Those colors don't have alot of ramp so Tithe, Landtax or Gift of estates are good cards to include.

Other than that Blue is pretty home free on what you want to include for Counters, Draw, etc.

Do you have a focus for the deck, or is it more RWU good stuff? These things do matter.

I run a RWU deck. I use Zedruu, so a lot of cards are theme based, but basic autoincludes IMO are:
Land Tax
Gift of Estates
Tithe
Condemn
Swords to Plowshares
Wrath of God
Mother of Runes
Enlightened Tutor
Karmic Guide

Teferi, mage of Zhalfir
Mystical Tutor
Fact or Fiction
Consecrated Sphinx
Capsize
Rhystic Study

Reiterate
Wild Research (this card is a HOUSE - makes games go long, but still awesome)

It's beatable, but you want to play Submerge? and green hosers?

You have to play a lot of cards just for Edric matchup and that doesn't seem very fun.

Well, I play Jhoira, so I can just discard the useless cards.
And submerge is playable against non-green.

Managed to recur Koko three times and gain 60 life (5-player game)...but still lost due to Akroma wailing on me. I should note, I only started using Koko after someone hit me with a Sorin. There were things I would have much rather been doing with my resources.

A blue player having mana problems fired off a Bribery, only to lament that what he really needed was a Primeval Titan. He had to settle for an Oracle of Mul Daya instead, which whiffed for the next three turns. Bad beats.

My first outing with all-creature Animar was a rousing success. Managed to finish off the game thanks to a Kessig Cagebreakers making seven guys, followed by a Craterhoof Behemoth the next turn for about +15.

This is why Primeval Titan is banned! LOL.

Seems like a personal problem.

5 in EDH isn't all that great, or he could have been color screwed.

It depends on the deck. Most decks in EDH aren't great until they reach at least 5cc. But it doesn't have to be that way, which is what I'm pointing out.

It was a player I had not encountered before, so I can't comment on his deck much. He was playing UW (GAAIV) and I did see quite a bit of high cc stuff coming from him. So yeah, he probably wants to rethink his curve a little. He did seem to be able to do a little more once he hit five mana.

That said, I pack plenty of low cc spells in my deck AND several on the higher end because those are the sweet spells that make the format worth playing. I build fairly consistent decks that are not top heavy and work the way I want them to 99% of the time. There's still that game every once in a while where you make a bad mulligan decision, don't hit mana rocks/ramp, or proceed to just continue drawing the highest cc cards in your deck. It just happens.

GAIV slows everyone down, but he's normally not the biggest threat. I've played it enough in the group that people don't auto target him.

me and a buddy were discussing a deck tonight that I came up w/ on the fly. he mentioned Doomgape as a joke and I just kind of ran with it. It would be 5 color, progenitus as the general. The focus of the deck would be 10+/10+ creatures and playing literally everything from leviathan to polar kraken. Cute tricks with disciple of bolas, greater good, elvish piper, sneak attack, eureka, show and tell, etc. No idea if it would work at all, but I think if I could get it running it might be fun to sling insanely large beasts around. Gatherer shows result of 24 creatures that are 10+/10+ and I know some are easy auto cuts such as BFM (unglued) and maybe deaths shadow. The deck would likely run stifle/trick bind so things like Jokulmorder work.

We'll see if i get enough energy to make something resembling a deck list. I just had to post about it before I forgot since it sounds so random.

My only tribal EDH deck is Ruhan... aka "Giant beats"

Even though it is completely out of my preferred colors (G/B), it is still one of my favorite decks. Just a thought

Take it easy,
