When I saw baral I figured he would be a fun mono-blue commander. He is very gimmicky and very controlly which just scream solid blue deck

The main win con is to mill or cripple your opponent into scooping. It's dirty, but that's how blue works

The deck uses the Deadeye Navigator combos which include:

Deadeye Navigator + Great Whale = infinite mana/etbs

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake = also infinite mana/etbs

Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron = another infinite mana/etbs effect

Deadeye Navigator + Deceiver Exarch + Gilded Lotus = even more infinite mana/etbs

The goal is to mill them. To mill you can use the infinite mana with Blue Sun's Zenith / Increasing Confusion or the etbs with Altar of the Brood . A powerful mill combo is Enter the Infinite + Sphinx's Tutelage / Jace's Erasure . If milling the opponent isn't going to work then mill yourself and Laboratory Maniac .

If milling doesn't work at all there's the Genesis Chamber combo that uses the infinite etbs to make some fun 1/1 myr tokens.

This is going to be short and simple. Use your commander to cycle and counter your way to late game where you should have the cards needed. The deck uses tons of counter spells and Isochron Scepter to hold out as long as possible. Most likely in multiplayer games you'll draw some threats playing mono-blue and countering every threat so it's recommended to wait everyone out then pick off one threat since you don't have much in the way of creatures to wall yourself in.
