First take at a Rafiq deck!

Goal is to be mainly played 1 vs 1 (not French), but also be used in multiplayer groups. I have listed cards I would include in multiplayer games in the maybeboard.

My play group is semi-competitive, but has no voltron in it. I wanted to try something different and fun :) My hope is to get some fast kills with Rafiq, but if the game goes long still be dangerous enough to swing out of nowhere for the win.

Need help fleshing out the deck- do I want more counters, tutors, equip, auras, exalted? Which direction to go?

Also, budget is not unlimited. It's why I don't have Noble Hierarch, Sword of Fire and Ice, and better dual lands.
