This amazingly flavorful General deserves a deck built around him. I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I can cram in here, so suggestions are welcome. The deck is meant to be flavorful (Capsize, lol), though it does contain some combos, and it has somewhat of a "tap-down" theme.
I've found a simple card I am loving, Rings of Brighthearth, and think it will do wonders for you. Possible examples for cards in this deck:
Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor - Tap an untapped Cephalid, 2: Tap 2 perms. Arcanis the Omnipotent - 2, tap: Draw 6 cards. Empress Galina - 2UU, tap: Gain control of 2 legendary perms. Giant Oyster - 2, tap: Keep 2 creatures tapped and becoming weaker. Memnarch - 3UU: 2 perms become artifacts // Pay 5B: Gain control of 2 artifacts. Jace Beleren - +2 counters, 2: Everyone draws 2 cards // -1 counter, 2: Draw 2 cards // -10 counters, 2: Mill 2 players for 20, or 1 for 40. Opposition - Tap an untapped creature you control, 2: Tap 2 artifacts, creatures, or lands. Riptide Replicator - 6, tap: Put 2 X/X creature tokens into play. Vedalken Shackles - 4, tap: Gain control of 2 creatures at once.
And have you considered Confiscate over Dream Leash? 1 more mana, but doesn't have to be tapped.
Now I'm tempted to make a Octopus deck... pretty much for the same reasons Sirvo has said. The Tap-Down theme seems pretty interesting...it provides defense and offense, which I like a lot.
Ooooooo. This should be fun. And ZEN just came out with a bunch of freaky Blue bombs for Blue EDH too.
Looking for better (or just more) tap-down effects that are recurrable/consistant for EDH. On-a-stick, or off. Also, if you have some cool undersea creatures that fit the theme (and are great in EDH), let me know.
This is my "fun" deck, so no overpowered staple suggestions, please.
How about Scrivener? Recurring instants is always great. He's particularly abusive with Evacuation (which you have) or Familiar's Ruse (which you don't).

What about Inkwell Leviathan? Shroud and Islandwalk? Could be awesome...and maybe that Quest for something Temple that allows you to search for an Octopus/Kraken/Leviathan? That could be LOADS of fun.

Also taking Riptide Replicator and putting it in my deck, beats Volrath's Laboratory by far.
Thanks and good luck with this deck!
Also, I like Spin into Myth as a General hoser.
