First Time Spell Slinging, advice on deck

The deck is absurd. It can draw a ton of cards, and quickly get out of control. Its also pretty resilient, with 9 counterspells, plus the ability to recast your commander often for just two mana; we end up with so many cards in the graveyard, the commander tax gets reduced to zero. It can be a bit clunky at times, and the gameplay is somewhat linear. But overall a cool deck.\n\nI hope this helps!\n"}]}
