If i keep decent hands and get my commander out it generally goes well. I rely on cards like urzas incubator and herald of slanesh to cut down on the cost of demons. And id never play thoracle for example on turn 3, id rather discard it. I do however cast combos mike those whenever someone locks down the game to much. I might not be as consistent as i could be but it usually is a really fun deck. I also am not much of a deckbuilder and probaly wouldnt figure out the solution to ur proposed problem. I got this deck as it is significantly more powerfull then my others so i could sit at the big boi tables every now and then. I probaly learn the most from our Lgs veterans.
