Narset, Enlightened Commander

New to EDH, so any suggestions are helpful.

The way I want the deck to function is to find the spells that allow Narset to protected/free attacks to trigger her ability and cast a flurry of powerful spells. Sometimes she'll have a second attack phase to set up big turns, but I'm hoping for at least a base case of a protected attack. There are a variety of ways in the deck to copy spells cast off her ability or from the hand. In short, I want the deck to play out as a bit of a spellslinger deck.

I feel like the deck is short on straight-up win-conditions, so that's an area of focus. Certainly, getting to cast some of these expensive/powerful spells for free and copying them can set up big swings in the game. The deck also has a fair amount of ways to find its pieces or critical cards.
