I might consider going a bit enchant heavy. Probably won't dhough.

Hug Ramp...

Hug Draw....

Hexproof/indestructible/untap for commander... Most of defense is through boots. Occasional indestructible/flicker spell, also generally allot of mana so recasting isn't terrible.

Whatever else I feel like..... Fit in a bit more ramp... 6? and the rest is...... ????? Hug and stuff.... Right now it plays a bit selfishly (race out boots, slap them on and steal). First I gotta give a bit more? Also can use a few counter spells or alternative forms of instant speed protection.
