I live in roughly GMT timezone. This deck loses in daytime but quite reliably wins in the evening.
The deck is steadily moving up through gold ranking on MGTA, better than I expected.
This obnoxious deck mills the opponent by having Baral, Chief of Compliance and Teferi's Tutelage in play.
The deck aims to trigger the Tutelage off of Baral's loot ability from playing counterspells.
I recently added Disallow to the deck and it helped me a lot.
It won me a game against shrines and can also counter Gaea's Blessing's passive ability.
Whirlwind Denial might be a good budget option for this and might even be better against trigger-heavy decks like lifegain, Yorion etc.
I figure that the option to counter abilities should also be able to shut down the Cauldron Familiar combo or at least delay it.
Keep in mind that countering an ability does not activate Baral's triggered ability.
Baral's Expertise can be very helpful, as it allows you to clean up an undesirable boardstate while at the same time allowing you to play your more expensive cards. It's basically free, considering you play it for 4 mana most of the time and it lets you play a 4 mana spell for free.
Ideally you foretell Saw It Coming turn 2, then if you play a land and Baral on turn 3, you can keep baral save with the 1 mana counterspell. Bouncing your Baral with Eyes Everywhere will also save it.
Whenever possible you should have Saw It Coming foretold, this allows you to (kinda) safely cast your more expensive spells.
I find it helpful to Keep a Baral in hand lategame, so i can afford to let an opponent's removal resolve and keep mana open for instants.
Teferi's Ageless Insight should help draw extra cards later in the game and combo's nicely with Frantic Inventory.
