Aristocrat: Counter Play

Peasant, Pauper, Noble, and now Aristocrat.

Here is the Challenge: Make an Aristocrat deck.

Rules:

1) Decks must contain 60 cards.
2) Decks can have up to 2 rares. Of the two rares, each one must be unique. In other words, a deck can't have two copies of the same rare.
3) Mythic rares are not allowed. Ever! Yes, that means no planeswalkers.***EDIT: Has been pointed out to me, by s0rinmark0v, that there were 5 Planeswalkers that started out Rares, and were converted over to Mythical Rares:Aristocrat Planeswalkers (Only allowed Planeswalkers in Aristocrat Format)- Ajani Goldmane- Jace Beleren- Liliana Vess- Chandra Nalaar- Garruk Wildspeaker
4) Decks can also have up to 12 uncommons. Like the rares, the number of copies you can include of any particular uncommon is restricted. In this case, no more than three copies of any one uncommon are allowed. 
5) The rest of your deck is composed of commons, with the restriction that only 4 copies of up to three particular commons are allowed, with the rest of the deck's commons being limited to no more than 3 per unique common.
6) Basic lands are used as normal, with no particular limit on copies.
7) Sideboards are allowed and encouraged, and may include up to 1 rare and 3 uncommons, duplicating perfectly the rarity distribution of a typical booster pack. Additionally, none of the cards in the sideboard can be copies of the cards in the main deck.8) Sideboards are allowed to have 4 copies of up to two particular commons in the sideboard.

This is an aristocrat reboot of a fun little deck with ambiguity and lullmage mentor I made a while back.

I have to say, I'm quite proud with the title and the deck. To show this, I went and upvoted my deck. I'm vain like that. You see, this deck plays with +1/+1 counters and counter spells - see what I did there?

Also, to the further credit of the title, this deck is, aptly, designed to engage in gentlemanly counterplay with your opponent, as in a good game of chess. Simic is refined like that, unlike SOME guilds that shall not be mentioned here. You know who you are.

P.S. If you don't get the point, read ambiguity again.
