cards to cut from counter intelligence mtg Magic: The Gathering Edge of Eternities - Commander Deck Need advice for Counter Intelligence

TheChirurgeon: It's hard for seven-mana walkers to deliver enough value to see play, but Chandra manages to avoid that, both because she can drop 8 damage and get some easy 3-for-1s the turn she hits the battlefield, and because her +1 ability is capable of creating immediate infinite combos with things like Felidar Guardian, The Peregrine Dynamo, and Combat Celebrant
