Ok brought the deck to GP Charlotte, played a couple games, and came to a couple considerations.
-Sunblast Angel is indeed underwhelming
-Mnemonic Wall is a good idea, I always found myself wanting more of that effect
-I made the deck Isperia instead of Rasputin for personal reasons, knowing full well that Rasputin is probably better
-I might need more artifact and enchantment hate, but not sure
-I never found myself with an abundance of blink enablers and nothing to blink, so I think my balance is at least close
Venser, Shaper Savant is good, I just tend not to run legends other than my commander.
Deathmantle isn't as good now that I don't run Rasputin.
Twilight Shepherd might very well be worth testing.
Conjurer's Closet I tested because I didn't have a Cloudstone Curio, and I wasn't the biggest fan. Might try it a bit longer though.
Reliquary Tower I need, and Laboratory I need to check how many wizards I run now that my commander isn't one.
And if I added any more draw it would be either Recurring Insight or Slithermuse.
Always wanted to build a blink deck. Finally buckled down and ordered the cards for this bad boy will start initial testing next week. So looking for some criticism and advice.
Thank you, good sir. Exactly the response I was looking for. And trust me I know of the abundance of writers in the world, I have adapted to be able to take criticism.

I am a big commander fan. I like to just brew lists, even if I never build them. I also enjoy writing a lot.
So I was just curious if anyone knew of any article sites that take open applications for writers, specifically commander writers.
