This is my very first deck submission, and I decided it would only be fitting to have it be my favorite commander deck. My build is focused around the Karmic Guide + Reveillark loop as the combo finisher, I have otherwise put together a toolbox with which I protect and stop my opponents plans. With removal from Ravenous Chupacabra and company. I am using tutors that currently fit my budget, with plans to get the better ones down the line. I am looking for tips and ideas to make this deck function on a political level in EDH, and general tips to make this deck function as best it can.

Inspiration and ideas from much of the Alesha, Who Smiles At Death and (s)Taxes [Primer], however my playgroup is much more casual than what that deck tends to aim towards, so I am not interested in any of the harsher tax and stax effects (at least so I can keep some of my friends). Anyways, I would appreciate any feedback!
