This is my first real attempt at Commander, but I think it's pretty good. For the most part, it's just try to get out Rafiq ASAP and then kill opponents with Commander Damage within a turn or 2 after that. I've been fairly successful in single and multiplayer settings, but I know there are some things I need to improve on, so that's why I'm posting it here! Hoping you guys will have some good suggestions for me.

I know my manabase isn't perfect, but I don't really have the money to drop on all the lands I'd ACTUALLY want, unfortunately. So for now I'm just working with what I've got
