This is my current Rafiq EDH-deck. It is my first and most beloved deck I've ever played in EDH; I love how bant colors gives a bit control, ramp and goodstuff possibilities in a same package. Also I like the idea that I can win games instantly without comboing, but via commander damage. I find it one of the most satisfying things in Magic, when you outdamage a combo deck.

I mostly ran this list because I want to, not because it is optimized. There are some cards that should maybe be there, such as Grafted Exoskeleton , Knight of the Reliquary and Solemn Simulacrum but they are not, and yes, I have played most of those cards in some point. The reason why I cut them is either because they didn't fit my playstyle or they just seemed too stupidly strong, like infect in EDH or I just simply didn't like those cards.

Also cards I need to acquire are three talismans, some counter magic, namely Force of Will and Mana Drain and maybe some more efficient card draw such as Mystic Remora .

All the feedback is highly appreciated!
