Hey everyone; I've been trying this deck and it's such a fun thing to play; would appreciate any suggestions: 25 Lands: 4x Razorverge Thicket 4x Seachrome Coast 4x Glacial Fortress 1x Hinterland Harbor 2x Moorland Haunt (not too convinced on these...) 2x Evolving Wilds 4x Plains 3x Island 1x Forest 8 Creatures: 4x Snapcaster Mage 4x Stonehorn Dignitary 5 Planeswalkers: 2x Venser, the Sojourner 3x Tamiyo, the Moon Sage 22 Spells: 4x Fog 4x Clinging Mists 4x Feeling of Dread 4x Temporal Mastery 4x Day of Judgment 1x Terminus 1x White Sun's Zenith Sideboard: 1x Terminus 1x Ray of Revelation 3x Divine Deflection 2x Batterskull 3x Surgical Extraction 3x Naturalize 2x Oblivion Ring It's been running very smooth, not that it is a killer deck, but it works fine. White Sun's really shines, it's so much better than angels in this particular deck.

the goal is to ultimate a walker, which happens very often; most people just concede after that. Most games i get to pull off a at least one big unexpected zenith though.

Temporal Mastery seems a little weird, since I tend to think of Turbofog as a Stasis deck, and you often want to give your opponent extra turns, not yourself, but I don't think it's actually bad here. Indeed, I think it could actually be better here than elsewhere in the format.
To make real use out of it, though, you need Rites of Flourishing; turbofog decks really need a steady stream of fuel or you risk missing one or two turns of fogging and then you're dead. It doesn't matter that you make it symmetric, because ultimately they can't actually use the extra resources.
So, I would go with something like:
4 Hinterland Harbor 3 Glacial Fortress 2 Seachrome Coast 2 Razorverge Thicket 2 Sunpetal Grove 4 Forest 4 Island 2 Plains
4 Rites of Flourishing 1 Otherworldly Atlas 4 Snapcaster Mage 4 Stonehorn Dignitary 4 Temporal Mastery
3 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage 1 Gideon Jura 2 Venser, the Sojourner
4 Fog 4 Clinging Mists 4 other fogs or Noxious Revivals 1 Dissipate 1 Entreat the Angels/Blue Sun's Zenith/Jace, Memory Adept.
Something like that. You don't care so much about sweepers against most decks (SB some DoJ, Terminus, and Timely Reinforcements for Aggro), so the focus is just on lockdown. As a win condition, either Entreat the Angels (since you can pop into it midgame and just destroy the opponent, or just hold it in hand until late game when all your extra lands let you cast it big) or Blue Sun's Zenith (I prefer this, because you can use it to dig for Fogs early and then just mill your opponent out late game and keep recycling this to prevent milling out yourself), or Jace for similar reasons to USZ (only he fills in as an extra Atlas/Flourishings).
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.
