{W}{U}{B} Raffine, Scheming Seer {B}{U}{W}

This is basically an Edgar Markov deck, but with counterspells

Get lots of creatures out, connive for big X, get lots of +1/+1 counters, get value and damage for those counters, and discard Ulamog before you deck yourself to do it all again!

Main wincons are getting infinite turns with Raffine targeting Sage of Hours or assembling some combat synergy with things like Necropolis Regent, Knowledge is Power, Teferi's Ageless Insight, etc.
