This is my first commander deck, but I've been working on it for quite some time. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Let's get down to business, the first couple of turns are a little slow. This is a three colored deck so mana fixing in the first couple of turns is important. This can easily be accomplished through stuff such as Kodama's Reach , Cultivate , Chromatic Lantern and the plethora of dual lands. There are also a few ramp cards so the big guys like Baneslayer Angel , Sigarda, and Empyrial Archangel can get out as early as possible.

While presenting the normal 40 points of damage to be lethal is a very viable option, I made this deck in an attempt to abuse Rafiq of the Many's double strike. Because of double strike, Rafiq is capable of presenting lethal commander damage in very few turns. Exalted works perfectly with this, it makes Rafiq a huge terror. Just slap a Inquisitor's Flail and an Aqueous Form on , and kill your opponent in one turn. Put a Steel of the Godhead on Rafiq and watch the shenanigans begin. The evasion from Steel of the Godhead , Aqueous Form , [Levitation], and Shield of the Oversoul are great for making sure Rafiq or another creature can get through some crazy damage.

If you read all of that, thanks for your time. Suggestions, advice and +1's would be greatly appreciated. May you draw well
