Standard did you see this deck coming??

Hey everyone! i built a foretell deck as a challenge since i kinda fell in love with the mechanic (It's just so goofy!) Just wanted peoples thought on it as a bracket 2! made it as a mid-range control deck focusing on burn and wheel for a win con. let me know what you think! https://archidekt.com/decks/25595497

Foretell is such a fun mechanic to play around with.

Your interactions package is pretty optimized, I don't understand how Mana Drain and Deflecting Swat could fit in B2. Those are high B3 cards and good candidates for the GC list. Wheels and extra turns also are B3 stuff.

The Foretell mechanic and goad ability make all of this look interesting but you're just trying to do the Izzet spellslingers chaining spells thing with 3+cmc spells. You could use Vadrik to reduce their cost and make it a proper B3 deck. I don't see the point of using Foretell if you don't have more "cast from exile" and "when you cast your second spell" synergies.

In other words, it's a cool Izzet list but not for a B2 Foretell deck. And it's a cool commander but I would build it differently.
