MTG Salvation

Built a Commander Deck for the first time and played it against 3 other people and did pretty well, I became a target when my board presence became to high and the others players focused on me. The main problem I noticed is counterspells are a big problem and need to put in a way to nullify that aspect, I have Gran Abolisher in there, but need something something else.

Defense Grid is a pretty good way to slow down people from casting stuff on your turn.

Thanks for the suggestion that should slow down more than just counterspells. I'm also thinking about Dosan the Falling Leaf & City of Solitude.

Teferi, mage of zhalfir is always amazing. Possibility Storm makes counterspells hard to use.

Unfortunately, with Defense Grid, Dosan the Falling Leaf, and City of Solitude, you'll often/sometimes end up running interference for opponents who are playing combo or at least very scary things. Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir at least lets you still interact with combos and crazy plays, while Grand Abolisher only prevents opponents from messing with you. I'd recommend Vexing Shusher.

Vexing Shusher would be a good addition as an early card draw.

Thanks and sorry about my screw up.

Why are you running 5 colour? Seems white is your deck. I would drop the useless colours and focus on what you want your deck to do.

Those colors aren't useless, they are needed so I can make use of abilities like transmute, play cards like conspiracy and play mana dorks. I don't have a problem with getting the mana needed to cast spells if that is what you are thinking. I guess when come down to it chaotic thinking works well for me while composed thinking is a pain.
