So I built a deck that has Momir Vig for the general, Lots of card draw, mana ramp, and infinite combo's. Trouble is it's low on counterspells. Also the Deck requires the general to tutor up the combo's if it is going to win that way and I have heard that the key to a good commander/EDH deck is to make it work without the general. With cards like Spellcrumple, hinder and void stalker out there I can see the logic to this but I'm unsure as to whether this deck would pass the test. Also every counterspell I add is that much less chance of getting to tutor with Vig. This is something of a dilemma.

What do you think? Any and all Criticism is welcome.
