Whenever this attacks, choose a counter on a permanent you control. Put a counter of that kind on target permanent you control if it doesn't have a counter of that kind on it.

I can see that you are starting a Primer, in case you don't have them I suggest the following resource: Epochalyptik's Do you want to write a primer? I've found it useful and hope you do as well. So, first things first I have some questions:
-
What decks do you intend to play with using this deck? Do you want to play in a High Powered pod with degenerate spells like Mana Drain, Force of Will, Winter Orb and the like? Or is this a pod with lower power?
-
What's the budget with this deck? Is it to be in the same mold as an upgraded precon?
-
How do you want to win?
I saw your comments on the Advertise your deck forum, and I can see that you wish to add more draw and more control. In regards to draw I can see that Rhystic Study was suggested before and you have budgetary concerns - there is always the option to proxy. If your playgroup allows it of course.
Possible subthemes/Wincons to consider outside of Voltron: - A flicker (exile a permanent then return it to the battlefield end of turn) subtheme may be an interesting direction to go with this deck. There are numerous options to go with in blue and including creatures such as Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Scourge of Fleets, Archaeomancer, Spark Double, and Spellseeker to use and abuse their enter the battlefield effects.
- You could try slotting in Pili-Pala and Grand Architect for infinite mana or run Tunnel Vision and then win using Laboratory Maniac/Thassa's Oracle.
Honorable Mentions for fun Control/Card Advantage effects:
- Aven Courier - this guy helps your commander do more of what it likes to do. You should try and slot him in.
- Stormtide Leviathan - this guy can stop combat damage from reaching you for a time
- Faerie Mastermind - fun little taxing effects like this are great because it guarantees card advantage
- Wavebreak Hippocamp - given your deck has a lot of interaction it's likely you could keep up your tempo with this guy out

That's awesome to hear! And I had no idea how entertaining playing a deck focused around counters could be. If there's only one card I can reccomend for this style of deck, it has to be Aven Courier. Him being able to basically copy your counters onto any other permanent is amazing.
While there are probably more efficient ways of doing it, but Aven + Goldberry + Magosi, the Waterveil can easily become infinite turns. If you time things right, you should be able to get two extra turns in a single turn and completely negate the "skip your next turn" by having any untap effect, such as Ioreth of the Healing House or Mind Over Matter out so you can untap the land after putting a counter on it.
