Hi, I already love Harmless Offering so I tried my hand at building a deck with it and several win-conditions such as Demonic Pact, Abyssal Persecutor and Immortal Coil + Nihil Spellbomb

It's a budget deck, so I'm not going to change the mana-base into something more expensive.

I'm not really happy with it since it still seems a bit off, does anyone have any ideas on how to better this deck? It seems like my first two/three turns are really poor and I'm afraid I'd just get swamped before I can do anything.

I also think I need to play some counter spells to make sure my Harmless Offering doesn't get countered, that's why it's also a blue manabase and there's counterspells in the sideboard.

I thought maybe I should play Bile Blight , Despise , Terminate or Lightning Bolt in my main deck to help with the early game. Maybe you have some other suggestions, I'd love to hear it!
