I wish the story of this deck was a little more noble, but the truth is that it's basically the unholy offspring of my Bruna and Krond decks being smushed together, haha. I thought that my Krond deck could use some blue, so tried Bruna; however, found that Bruna was lacking without the green, and so ended up going with Rafiq and getting access to the whole wedge. This started out as a monstrous deck and was very hard to trim; from around 120 or so, every cut was pretty painful. There's a section of cards considered at the bottom that I really hated to cut, would appreciate if people could take a look at those and see if it might be possible to fit any back in.
As I mentioned in the title, I would very much like some critique from other Rafiq players, I'm hoping I made some good calls on these Auras, there were several others that I ended up cutting that were very good. As always, suggestions and critiques are welcome, thanks in advance.
Would greatly appreciate some feedback on this, can anyone help out? Would particularly appreciate some feedback on getting some more card draw in, ie. the Enchantresses, Rhystic Study, etc. Thanks!
