This is a competitive-ish level Brago, King Eternal deck that focuses on consistency, powerful card interactions, value per card and low CMC.

Brago is very powerful with artifact mana because he can blink all of it allowing the pilot a lot of mana for main phase 1 and main phase 2.

I chose cards so that almost every card has extreme advantage with Brago himself but would also provide a strong utility base to the deck without Brago.

There is also a lot of card draw in the deck, like Mystic Remora since you can blink it to reset the cumulative upkeep. This deck needs a lot of card draw and tutors to get the wincon cards into the hand to go infinite with.

The basic idea of the deck is to play Brago, King Eternal + Strionic Resonator and some other card to go infinite. The rest of the deck is just tempo and control. I intentionally slotted some worse quality tempo cards to lower the CMC of the deck, reward playing answers and board control, and to justify lots of draw power. A lot of Brago decks run really strong card synergy with Brago but have high mana curves and so you sit on cards for a long time, only playing one or two things a turn while trying not to waste good cards. Here, I opted for things you wouldn't feel bad playing all game long with only a small handful of win cards supplemented with lots of draw and tutor cards. Glen Alendra Archmage is pretty much the best tempo control card in the deck since it counters every turn.

The copy subtheme is a nice addition to this deck since copy spells are very effective in many matchups to give the deck some bite without Brago on the field. You can get a big, bad blocker, or grab something that generates tokens. You can also Brago to abuse other people's ETB effects! I have won games by infinitely copying cards from other peoples' fields and graveyards.

Some cards that should probably go in the deck are Grim Monolith and Laboratory Maniac. Beyond that, the Moxes aren't that great in the deck but a case could be made that they are great tempo cards.

Overall, I am looking for advice for how to make this deck even faster, more solid, and more potent. Any suggestions are welcome!

I have been playing Brago for the better part of a year, and have played him in a few different styles of gimmick. However, I feel like a lot of Brago decks take him as a gimmick and fill the deck with silly combos to no great effect. This deck is all about being solid, fast, and functional while using Brago's great ability efficitiently and lethally.
