I used to have this built as a deck a while ago, then I took it apart. I wanted to build it again.
I have several questions that I was hoping to see input on:
1) Any good nonbasic lands that I've left off the list?
2) What should I run for a counter suite, besides Force, Drain, Remand, and Cryptic?
3) Are there any relevant pieces of mana accel that I left off the list?
4) What do I run for utility creatures?
I have about 25-30 slots to fill, not counting Islands.
General: Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar
Lands: Tolarian Academy Academy Ruins Tolaria West Darksteel Citadel Seat of the Synod Teferi's Isle Lotus Vale Reliquary Tower x Islands (Probably around 25)
Manas: Gilded Lotus Thran Dynamo Worn Powerstone Eye of Ramos Darksteel Ingot Sky Diamond Coldsteel Heart Mox Diamond Chrome Mox High Tide Sol Ring Mana Vault Mana Crypt Grim Monolith
Broken: Vedalken Orrery Mana Drain Tezzeret Eye of the Storm Long-Term Plans Mind's Desire
Drawing: Time Spiral Frantic Search Ponder Compulsive Research Brainstorm Memory Jar Mulldrifter Rayne, Academy Chancellor Jace Beleren Braingeyser Opportunity Mind Spring Stroke of Genius
Counters: Remand Force of Will Cryptic Command Rewind
Creatures: Teferi Venser Solemn Simulacrum
Kill: Brain Freeze Memnarch

A few ideas: Scrying Sheets + Snow-Covered Islands. A fairly standard mono-color EDH draw engine. You lose almost nothing by including it. Reliquary Tower is another strong non-basic.
Rewind seems like a good counterspell here. Maybe Dismiss as well. Forbid? Hinder is a must, as it is the best way to deal with opposing Generals.
I would think that Sapphire Medallion and Gauntlet of Power have a place here.
Sensei's Divining Top + Future Sight/Magus of the Future. Trinket Mage is good in lists with only Sol Ring and Top as targets, and you have a few moxen and artifact lands he can also grab.
Mind Over Matter as a combo enabler? Mind's Desire?

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Look at the Azami, Lady of Scrolls deck I posted in this thread. It has many similar lines of play that you can take a look at for inspiration.

Needs a Reliquary Tower for sure.

I've seen just running straight-up counters to make enemies. The counters I like to run: Mystic Snake, Spelljack, Commandeer, Misdirection, Draining Whelk.
If you do run more counters, the only one in that list that I like is Cryptic. I'd definitely run all the Exclude, Remand, Dismiss card drawing style counters. In a multiplayer group, if you just 1 for 1 some other guy, everyone else at the table ends up way ahead.

I'm glad you posted this, I was brainstorming cheap EDH decks I could build to lend to people who want to play but don't have a deck (or didn't bring theirs). 'Cheap' pretty much implies mono-colored ($2.00 manabase? Yes please) and Tomorrow was on the short list of generals, right after Kuro, Ogre Ascendant and Jaya Ballard.

If you wanted to go mono-u, there are more attractive generals like Keiga and Empress Galina.
