This deck focuses around keeping your opponents shut down by limiting the amount of actual cards they keep. The deck forces your opponents to draw cards and take penalties for doing so. Then on the other side, penalizes them for discarding all those cards they were forced to draw. Anything they manage to play is ready to be countered with a variety of low costing x cost counters. The primary source of ramp comes from black. Most of the x costs or high colorless costs will be paid in black mana.

Red is splashed mainly for the commander and the few red cards I think forward the theme of the deck. I opted to not use a lot of the cards that also penalized myself by forcing me to discard cards. I realize there are a few counters to discarding, but I'd rather avoid the problem then put those few cards in my deck.

If you have any cards you think would fit, please let me know! Especially red. On the other hand, if you can tell me why a card I have is a bad fit I'd love to know that too.

I cut the lands back to 31. The amount of ramp in this deck allows for a shortage of land. This strategy is similar to other EDH decks I've made and used.

Added more personal draw power to the deck with cards like Consecrated Sphinx. Added tons of draw on draw step cards like Kami of the Crescent Moon, Font of Mythos

Further balanced out the subthemes of the deck by removing Time Stretch, Gilded Lotusfoil, Rewind
