Riku of Two reflections budget tokens

Commander / EDH*

Raphamaster


Hey guys I just started to play magic in the last few months and prefer EDH to all other formats, I am building a deck on a budget and wonder if you guys could help me with card choices/upgrades.

I have taken some inspiration from the Riku primer in MTG salvation( http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/217248-riku-of-two-reflections-born-of-the-gods-edition ), trying to send my deck through the token route, the deck's power level is keeping up with my playgroup's (Many of them started playing magic the same time as me, so our collections are small) and the people I play with on my LGS (I try to avoid playing people with Mind sculptors and the like, altho some have decks with varied power levels and with the lower end of those decks I fare well), but I feel some issues persist such as:

Card Draw: After ramping I usually end up with too little cards in my hand or if I get countered too much early in the game.

Fliers: Most people in my playgroup play black or white decks with tons of fliers and usually I can't respond to the very well and usually they crush my planeswalkers/ keep me from using them/ allows them to get free hits, the removals I have in my small collection that could deal with them are either too specific for fliers and I don't feel they are the greatest choice or are wraths that screw me up as well, since I usually have stuff in the board.

-Reactionary cards: I wonder how much of my deck I should dedicate to counters and the like, back when started building my deck I had about 20 disruption cards and my felt felt too slow, as I bought more green cards I started twitching the focus of the deck so I can be the playmaker and not the reactive player and started winning many more games but I still have to either overpower the control player with surrak's counter immunity + trample or warstorm surge/vicious Shadows.
