This was my first EDH deck, i really like Rafiq but feel like this deck gets shut down too easily and has no way to get back up after board wipes. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I've tried playing this deck a few different ways, lots of equipment few creatures, lots of aura's few creatures, bunch of exalted creatures fewer equip/aura's. Just not sure where to take it.
