Classic Brago deck.

There are quite a few things that I have in here. The deck focuses around bring Brago out as soon as possible.

From what I've seen with playing with this deck, you can usually get Brago out around turn 3-4, maybe earlier. Even before that, you're also usually able to get a 2-3 drop creature out on the battlefield, so that it can blink alongside Brago.

The deck also focuses on bringing out Strionic Resonator. I'm having a hard time trying to find it in the deck without using Tezzeret the Seeker to help me do it. If I need to put in a Muddle the Mixture, I'd have to understand.

The other problem I'm having is that people are always countering Brago as soon as I'm able to pull him out. Opponents see that, once they counter Brago, it's harder for me to get started with the deck, seeing that I have to pay an additional 2 to cast Brago. I need help with this as well. My solution is to use better counterspells, such as Thwart, Foil, and other no cost counterspells. Please don't suggest Force of Will, as I just don't have enough money to drop on the one card. Yet.

As soon as I have enough resources, I plan to get a few cards: Time Warp being one of the primary ones. It'd help to net myself infinite turns through blinking Archaeomancer. Beyond this, I'm also looking to acquire things like Force of Will, Glen Elendra Archmage, Recruiter of the Guard, Stonehorn Dignitary and Mana Crypt.

Please help me with figuring out how to deal with Brago being countered, and with how to bring out Strionic Resonator faster.
