Braids can't cast the Beacon, it can only put artifacts, creatures or lands into play.
Also, Braids puts them into play, it doesn't cast them, so Kozilek's ability to draw four cards won't trigger.

Sorry for my train of though went astray, what i meant was 14 mana- portal to beacon cast beacon-get beacon cast... and let braids cast the actual treats for free proceed to win. kozilek and ulamog is for deck reshuffling
Also forgot before about archeomancer, and since you have teferi put pool of knowledge for another win condition(whithout braids)

Doesn't an EDH deck have to be three colors?

0

No, your general determines what colours are allowed, in this case only blue (and artifacts)

Huh, weird people were telling me that in Commander you had to have three colors. I should turn my Twins deck into an EDH 8D

Why listen to people when you could just read the official rules on the website of WotC?
Those people are just assuming it has to be three colours because the commander decks that WotC released so far happened to be three colours.

Tradewind Rider to continously undo what your opponent puts into play.

Confiscate to steal whatever he puts into play.

Time Stop to end the turn. You can do this during opponent's upkeep after he put Braids on the stack, it won't resolve.

Gilded Drake.

Confound to protect Braids.

Frozen AEther is a MUST in this deck! It affects everything that Braids allows the opponent to put into play and prevents him from using it right away (especially useful against hasting ceatures). Then in your turn you have the chance of stealing it before it untaps.

Jester's Mask might be useful in this deck. You can either give your opponent cards that he cannot put into play with Braids or you can give him cards you WANT him to play because you can steal them.

Memnarch should also be in there for extra stealing power, being an artifact creature himself he can be put into play via Braids.

Darksteel/Blightsteel Colossus, Inkwell Leviathan and Master Transmuter seem to be solid choices as well.

Sculpting Steel in case you haven't enough copy power already.

Might as well run riptide laboratory to protect braids. If you're looking for a fun suggestion, look into running proteus staff. Not only can you use it as another way to cheat fatties into play, you can also tuck your opponents best creatures (somewhat offsetting braids' effect) and their commanders. It's risky but worth looking into. Other than that, it might be nice to run tezzeret the seeker to search up greaves/howling mine/sol ring or mana vault/seat of the synod (seat of the synod can be tutored for zero). Bribery and Acquire are also cards that you might consider in mono blue, as well as Pongify/Rapid Hybridization/Duplicant for removal (duplicant paired with dead eye for flicker effects is just ridiculous).

Nice Braid's deck. However you are missing one great Braid's trick. Grozoth..... If Braids puts Grozoth into play you can pull all the 9 casting cost cards from your deck... EX. Niullstone Gargoyle, Artisan of Kozilak, Hand of Emrekul, Darksteel Forge, Colossus, Teeks's Dragon etc. Fabricate can put one of the artifacts in your hand, and play a lot of card draw/manipulation. Nullstone Gargoyle gives you added protection with its countering effect. I played a Blaids "standard" deck back when it first came out using Grozoth/Nullstone Gargoyle and surprised that it won 50% of its matches in local small tournaments Add Mystical Tutor to your deck to increace the chance of pulling one of you extra turn sorcery spells. Paradox Haze is another key card which you already have to abuse Braids..Enjoy

I like your mono blue. I have a mono blue deck, its pretty similar to yours but I use a different general. I like the spells and the control you have.

Please take a look at it:
