This was one of the first EDH decks I ever built, using my From the Vault: Legends edition Rafiq of the Many for the commander. I don't use it anymore, but I kept a record of what it looked like before I took it apart for parts back in 2012 (some time after Avacyn Restored).

It's fun to look back at what cards I was using back then. Most of the choices hold up, but Oblation, Spell Crumple, Hinder, Hallowed Burial? Not anymore. My counterspell suite was also generally pretty weak, my ramp was lacking, and my average CMC was much too high. But at least I was running enough lands!
