Comparing modern bogles to commander voltron is comparing apples and oranges. And notbody said that hexproof isn't great for voltron commanders.

Stright up, yes, counterspells are amazing. there are so many zero and one CMC protection counterspells to keep your commander alive that it's really not hard to hold up some removal while progressing your board state. And for a strategy like voltron, you need to keep pressure on your opponents. Blue does this much better than red does.

In addition to that, generally the best voltron strategies lean into equipment rather than auras due to the fragility of auras. And leveraging something like a Sigarda's Aid + Colossus Hammer is really all you need for Rafiq.

Not to mention, hexproof is not the be-all and end-all protection for your commander. Council's Judgment is a card, so is Arcane Lighthouse, Bonds of Mortality and Shadowspear. And while your opponents may not initially run these cards and you get a few games in where you're in the clear, these cards will soon make their way into decks.

Make them sac it! That indestructible hexproof unblockable 20/20 got you down? Good thing I have a Plaguecrafter or Diabolic Edict here to make them sad! You can even flash some of it in with Alchemist's Refuge, Winding Canyons, or a whole bunch of artifacts, enchantments, and creatures that let you do it nowadays so they learn their lesson not to swing at you.

There are also a good number of artifacts and lands nowadays that can get rid of that pesky hexproof. Detection Tower, Arcane Lighthouse, and Glaring Spotlight are your friends. And the lands don't even cost you a 'real' card slot, and are repeatable...my favorite!

So Manascape Refractor is a strong maybe?

Cards in my deck it works with Terramorphic Expanse, Rogue's Passage, Riptide Laboratory, Minamo, School at Water's Edge, Inventors' Fair, Homeward Path, Hanweir Battlements, Flamekin Village, Evolving Wilds, Detection Tower, and Arcane Lighthouse.

Plus if my opponents play interesting lands I get those effects too. I'm not convinced it is a powerful card but I'm interested to see it in action. One really nice thing it does is make it so I don't need specific colors for Minamo, Riptide, and the 2 haste lands. A little color fixing is always decent.

2020 update:

It seems that interest in cEDH style decks at my LGS has waned in recent times, while we still see some very powerful brews from fairly often, seldom are they in the realms of what we would term 'degenerate', with that said, my interest in this deck hasn't waned. If I see new cards that look helpful or come up with ideas to improve on the brew I will happily take another look and make changes where necessary.

Controversial outs: Kodama's Reach and Cultivate. These two cards are auto includes in any of my decks that have green in them, however in this deck if you want the commander to enter play ASAP so you can spend the next few turns controlling the board where needed, recognizing that mana acceleration is still important Talisman of Curiosity is in. The activated ability on Shadowspear also acts as an alternative to Arcane Lighthouse while also giving this deck a touch of life gain, something it was desperately missing.

Other swap was 1 Forest for Labyrinth of Skophos. I don't have extensive actual play using this card but on paper it seems quite versatile, since we're down 2 green cards 9 forests and 8 duals should still be plenty.
