Abdel: Blink and You Miss Him.
1 year ago
Changes to be made:
Aviation Pioneer for Aspiring Aeronaut : Same effect for lower CMC. Flying blockers can be a weak point for this deck.
Burdened Aerialist for Wall of Runes : Trading filtering for treasure production, adding another potential combo piece to the mix.
Inspiring Overseer for Skyscanner : Same effect for same CMC with lifegain attached.
Mulldrifter for Search Party Captain : Better digging option with the upside of being able to be evoked if in a pinch. SPC being dependent on attackers is good for when Abdel has made enough tokens, not great in your opening hand though.
Soul's Attendant for Dwarven Priest : Better long term lifegain option with a lower CMC.
Stonehorn Dignitary for Watertrap Weaver : Why tap an opponents creature when you can stop them from attacking at all? Yes they will be able to use their remaining creatures as blockers, No Abdel doesn't care when he attacks with 100x 10/10 soldiers.
Watcher for Tomorrow for Augur of Bolas : Better digging option with less chance to whiff.
Pristine Talisman for Manalith : Can give infinite lifegain when Abdel is in a blinking loop, and this deck doesn't necessarily need the mana fixing.
Ephemerate for Teferi's Time Twist : Far better value, lower CMC, and returns Abdel immediately rather than at the end of the turn.
Settle Beyond Reality for Voidwielder : Another blink loop option with a hard exile mode for opponents creatures, better all around for the same CMC.
Reality Acid for AEthersnipe : Hard removal for less mana.
Fellwar Stone and other two cmc rocks will replace the three cmc ones over time to lower the curve even further.

First things first, you should change the format of the deck to casual since Counterspell is not legal in Modern.
With that being said I think the idea is neat but you need to streamline your deck. the more 3's and 4's you have the better consistency your deck is going to have. Drop a lot of the mediocre 2's like
and go up to 3's and 4's of the better cards like
Some other good Artifact stuff you may have overlooked
Ensoul Artifact + Ornithopter 5/5 flyer on turn 2
Darksteel Citadel+Ensoul Artifact 5/5 indestructible on turn 2

TankAlpha,
As others have said, tt would be about a gazillion times easier to tell if you'd linked a deck here rather than just a mess of cards.
Since you're new to it though: Your Origins cards (Alhammarret's Archive and Aspiring Aeronaut) are no longer legal.
Rotations can be kind of confusing, especially for newer players ... for future reference, whatsinstandard.com is a great resource.
Hope you draw well tonight!!!

Hi! This looks like a really fun deck to play! I have just a few pieces of advice for you:
- 23 lands seems like a bit too few. Maybe go up to the full 4 Tranquil Cove? If you don't have another 2 of them, another Plains and another Island would also work.
- I think you're definitely on the right track with your Maybeboard. I'd prioritize getting 3 Brago, King Eternal, 2 Cloudblazer, 2 Lavinia of the Tenth, 4 Reality Acid, and 2 Whirler Rogue.
- Along those same lines, the first cards I'd take out of your deck once you buy the cards above would be Aspiring Aeronaut, Nebelgast Herald, Stitched Mangler, Rite of Undoing, Failed Inspection, and Convolute.
A final deck might look something like this (I'll keep the deck up for at least a few weeks)

You have the right idea with the start, but a few important changes I'd suggest.
Take out the Legendary Eldrazi, they don't work with the commander's ability.
Eldrazi aren't the only option for big creatures. Mono blue has a lot of scary massive blue creatures like Stormtide Leviathan, Inkwell Leviathan, Kederekt Leviathan, Lorthos, the Tidemaker.
Mono Blue needs mana rocks. Sol Ring of course, but also half a dozen others. You want 5-8 in the deck.
Creatures with enter the Battlefield abilities get extra value in a deck like this: Archaeomancer, Academy Researchers, ther Adept, thersnipe, Alhammarret, High Arbiter, Aspiring Aeronaut, Aven Fateshaper, Benthicore, Breaching Hippocamp
Blue also has a great number of untap mechanics that can give you some extra uses out of your commander: Aura of Dominion, Crab Umbra, Freed from the Real, Intruder Alarm, Pemmin's Aura, Second Wind
Lastly, these I recommend for Flavor and Awesome:Mass Polymorph, Polymorphous Rush, Polymorphist's Jest, Rite of Replication, Magus of the Future

Great deck!
Just a lot of random suggestions. Don't use most of them.Consider Abbot of Keral Keep, which might help with casting more cards.Acidic Slime/Bane of Progress/Big Game Hunter//Duplicant for removal. Agent of Erebos for dealing with graveyard stuffs. Is that even an EDH thing? Anarchist/Archaeomancer if you like your instants and sorceries. Aspiring Aeronaut/Attended Knight/Beetleback Chief b/c they make tokens. Baleful Strix is just a really good card. Clockwork Beetle: 2/2, 1/1, 2/2, 1/1, 2/2, 1/1. Cloud of Faeries can help: You can get it into your graveyard while drawing cards, then play it to add mana. Crovax the Cursed//Dracoplasm can get things in your graveyard, especially things that make tokens that you can get again. Deceiver Exarch might be decent. Elgaud Shieldmate for protection; you can give anything you control hexproof. Elvish Pioneer might be good ramp. Epochrasite is also a pretty good card. Evangel of Heliod b/c you have a lot of white mana symbols.
