This is a deck I'm working on for when Etrata comes out. She will be replacing Dralnu as commander, he's just a filler.

The plan for this deck was to get Etrata out, and replicate her using Helm of the Host, Mirror Gallery + Clone, to get multiple hit counters per shuffle. But in the case that that fails, I added lots of bounce and tutor effects.

Bounce, so you can bounce her back to your hand off the shuffle trigger instead of letting her go to graveyard or back to command zone with the increased command tax.

This is my first actually hand built deck that wasn't based off another I've seen played, so any advice would be immensely appreciated! As it is, I'm fairly new to magic. My only other mtg decks are revolved around instant win combo's such as mana loops, huge creature building, etc. But when I saw a preview of Etrata, the idea of such a weird intricate win condition intrigued me and I wanted to try building around it. I also love the Dimir school and have yet to make a deck in it.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
