I would continue to run the Praetor's grasp and Brainstorm. The grasp allows you not only to grab an artifact, but it allows you to see your opponents entire deck. In some matches, that could be a big turn around. Brainstorm also allows you to slightly modify your hand, and is a cheaper one time use of Sensei's Top.
As for your lands, for the life gain have you considered Miren, the moaning well? I'm using it for my Marchesa deck and it is great, especially if you intend to sac things like you mentioned with High Market.

The group I play with has done a few instant win games, and infinite loops. Some times we end up with 3+ hour games where we just want it to end, and in those instances, Hellkite Tyrant would be awesome to have. I am considering using Charger if I can get a few more attackers. Definitely saving up for the Eldrazi Titans. Given the amount of mana I can produce, getting them out by turn 6-7 is a breeze.
If it helps for an added idea, I'm adding Hellkite Tyrant to my deck and thinking of adding a way to flash him in, Such as Vedalkin Ornery. Let's be honest, if someone see I have that and close to the number of artifacts, I become an instant target before it gets back to my turn.
Right now, in my tuned down version (I am still getting beat sticks) I rely on Soul of New Phyrexia and Steel Hellkite to bring the power. Otherwise, I have mana for days and not much to spend it on. Playing Mishra a few times with my build and seeing the others, I think Blightsteel, Ulamog, and Kozilek are prime choices for the deck in terms of offensive cards. The way my groups play, combos are a rare and special occurrence, so beating in faces or locking people down is the most common route.
so I got the All is Dust, Minamo, Torpor Orb, Oblivion Stone, and Necropotence tonight, and had several play tests in 4-5 player groups.
Necropotence was removed, it's always dead to me, and I don't feel like finding another Urborg (I also play Marchesa and Rafiq). I did however do something fun today with the Karoo lands. I found a fun way to play Bojuka Bog, bounce it for a Karoo, then rinse and repeat.
My build also severely lacks offense. I have 9-12 mana by turn 5, but nothing to do with it. For the future of my own build, I think some Tutors and beatsticks are needed. All that mana, and also no real way to draw. Once I ran out of a hand, I was basically done and unable to recover. I also needed some counters, rarely, but sometimes really needed them.
I hadn't considered running those lands! I'll have to save up for Dark Depths. I may take out the Karoo lands and replace them with those. Or I could shuffle things around and take advantage of the Amulet and have it help the Karoo lands and Geth.
The obelisk is in there as a mana rock for now. It's one of the cards I intend to take out in the future. I'm not fond of the Coalition Relic, and am trying to get my hands on a Thran Dynamo.
As for the board wiping disk of hate...Well I am picking up that and an Oblivion Stone today during EDH night at my shop
So, since the parts for my Mishra build came in, I figured I'd post the trial version of my Mishra EDH. Keep in mind that I designed the deck as a fun deck, and to be able to operate separate of Mishra is needed. Some cards I added for personal flavor as well...
The deck like I said is meant to work with or without the mad genius that is Mishra. There are a lot of flavor cards, as well as cards that are used to offset the kinds of Commanders I am used to facing. The two places I play at usually have a lot of red, blue, and/or black decks. White and blue do crop up, but not as frequently as others. I often fight another Grixis deck, a Thassa deck, a GrimGrin deck, a Brago deck, and a Narset deck.
Feel free to ask or comment on anything. I'll explain why I run the card or be inspired possibly to run something better. I should also point out that I do intend on getting Blightsteel for this deck, as well as Kozilek and Ulamog. Why the Titans? WHY NOT THE TITANS?! Just something out of left field to abuse the colorless mana. Chances are I won't use the Titans, but I am trying to find bigger/better beatsticks besides Soul, Hellkite, and Blightsteel.
So I have been looking at making a new commander for a long time, and you've inspired me to finally use my Mishra. My eyes have been opened to his potential and I want to see what I can do with him. Would you mind, if once I have it built, if I post my deck list here and get your opinion on it?
Also, Kudos on getting that Nether Void! I know I'll not be able to afford one for ages and it is definitely a game changer!

How did you solve some of these issues?
