Here's a new deck build I've been working on. I've had a chance to play it against some really powerful proliferate decks, an aggressive shadow born deck, a Karametra deck, as well as a few others. The one thing to note about this deck is that getting our commander out turn 6-8 is pretty important. I need to work on the mana fixing because I've found that getting land screwed really ruins the play of this deck.

I've found that there is enough control elements to this that even if we can't combo off as we hope to and continuously draw a ton of cards, there's enough counter spells to keep our opponents at bay until we get the engine going.

Suggestions welcome as always. Thanks!
