Seems solid. Thinking of running something like this as well.

This is more of a tempo deck than an aggressive deck.

4 Ojutais Command seems terrible I can see 1-2 but 4? No way. I'd definitely shave it down. I love 4 Keral Keep though that card will be insane :P

Also I feel like Jeskai Tempo needs Rabbles I'm not a huge fan of Harbinger in this deck so maybe swap for Rabbles and if you're making this list rotation friendly then I'd suggest monastery mentor instead of Harbinger

I honestly feel like Jeskai Control is a better deck right now. I can bump my list if you're interested.

I wanted to run the 4 command because most of my deck is 2 cmc creatures. Most people just see the card as counter draw but I see it as counter get a creature back. I do agree that rabble is important but I wanted to make this deck without it to maximize the commands. This deck is just for testing. Most of these cards won't rotate so it's mainly just testing for next format.

I do agree that jeskai control is better but I wanted to build a tempo deck based around ojutai command.

Since you're so heavy on the commands and on sorceries, maybe {Jace, Vryn's Prodigy}? Seems pretty sweet getting EoT planeswalkers that buy back your {Exquisite Firecraft}s.
Didn't even think about jace. Might not be bad here.
