July week 4 - Return of the Rafiq

I don't think I really like this deck. It's interesting, looking at the dynamic of EDH, how aggro actually works. I've heard aggro is terrible, but really, you can gun for and take out a player pretty early on. But what then? You've got two or more players to punch out.

Rafiq kinda cheats on being aggro by having a commander who needs a little, but not much, support to turn on being an aggro deck. Still, punching people out for 21 commander damage or dropping 20+ angel damage on them is effective... It's just not quite the right type of satisfying.

I'm not really sure where I'd take the deck from here. It feels like it needs another level of polish, but I haven't really gotten enough repetitions in and don't really want to. I got to finest hour into temporal trespass and splatter a table, that's enough.
