Outside of running a compliment of Counterspell's, Im inclined to go the route of cards like City of Solitude, Dosan the Falling Leaf, Teferi, Time Raveler and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir forcing most if not all players at the table into the same tempo of game play
This is nasty good in tons of places from Tokens to Aggro to Burn to Spellslinger
It also uses Bounty counters, something that has been getting very slow support over the years
Tidus, Yuna's Guardian is its Bant commander, ready to proliferate and move counters left and right
Theres always going to be a card out of reach, and really, Magic is a privilege that we should enjoy responsibly
Genie Wonderful Trickster has an interesting draw ability but at that high a cost doesnt fit in to the small-character decks hed do best in
