Notes:


Dudecore

{Cancel} is never a good card to run. There are plenty of {Cancel} clones, like one per set (i.e {Cancel} + Scry 1 = {Dissolve}). {Counterspell} is better for instance. I see that you're on a budget, or only including cards you own from the past few sets - like {Essence Scatter}. Commander format has access to many, many, unconditional counters that are better. Consider cards like {Rewind}, it's on budget and unconditional. Cards like:

1 {Essence Scatter}
1 {Disdainful Stroke}
1 {Countermand}
1 {Silence the Believers}
1 {Psychic Strike}
1 {Index}
1 {Hideous End}
1 {Fall of the Gavel}
1 {Divination}
1 {Dispel}
1 {Dimir Charm}
1 {Ponder}
1 {Negate}
1 {Mana Leak}
1 {Terror}
1 {Cancel}

are probably just downright bad, or could be replaced with something else.

If you have cash, a {Bitterblossum} is wreck in oloro

Yeah. Some copy pasta error. Those are good cards
