First of all I know that Dragonlord Kolaghan's effect can not be manipulated like Mishra, Artificer Prodigy can by negating or clever stacking with Possibility Storm, which means that she will basically just read: 'Creatures you control gain haste' which is quite underwhelming for a 6 CMC Commander.

Anyway, before I informed myself I already had half the list planned so I will keep finishing it, even if it does not work, no one expects a Rakdos Deck that is full of Counter Spells.

To summarise the Deck, it is a mish mash of Burn/Aggro/Land Destruction and Counter Spells in colors no one expects to be countered by really hard. I am aware that basically every other Rakdos Commander is better suited than Kolaghan, but I chose the Lightning Dragon Lady and want to stick with her now.
