No prob! I've never actually seen Distant Memories before, I might have to pick up a couple! Seems like it would be really fun and political. And that makes sense about being hesitant to cut the cards that trigger your commander. I'd think about cutting Galvanoth, I always try to play him but 5 mana for a creature that the odds are wont get a good trigger your next upkeep isnt worth it imo. ALso Izzet Chronarch, or Archaeomancer if you want to keep the izzet colours. Chemister's Trick, Charisma, Grip of Amnesia (for a better counterspell such as Counterflux), Cerebral Vortex, Nivix Guildmage, Arcane Melee, Thoughtflare. Also not sure how you take advantage of Aetherflux Reservoir? Maybe a cut.
Some cards that you might want to consider swapping your izzet creatures for are: Double Negative, Essence Backlash, Expansion / Explosion, Ionize, Magefire Wings, Suffocating Blast. Have fun brewing! I've definitely been doing alot of it over the last couple weeks haha

Though, on the subject of Suffocating Blast , having a card that has the ability to smite two things, and that people don't expect, can be fun to wield rather than Counterspell . It's a personal choice, but one to consider.
But yes, Counterspell is far stronger. :)

Azeworai Thx for the feedback! It's the first EDH I built from scratch and I'm very happy with it ^^. Sanguine Bond was added at the end when searching for a last card, I thought it would be nice with Kenrith, the Returned King and Debt to the Deathless , boosting the wincon. I like a lot your idea to put Standstill and Powerstone, it make the other players think twice before doing anything and can give me some precious time. I'll look somewhere to put them for sure! Walking Desecration and Dulcet Sirens could be good ideas, but I know that the group that I play with won't consider them as indirect as you could think :p and could give me a lot more unwanted aggro than Kambal, Consul of Allocation that is just considered a passive card. For the other cards, I saw them when building the deck, but didn't choose to put them in for different reasons. Guided Passage have a to great random factor with it. Suffocating Blast is a good counterspell but 3 damages for 2 more manas than the classic counterspell is a lot in EDH, don't you think? I liked the idea of Mercy Killing , but I chose to remove cards that destroy a creature in exchange of other creatures, not because it's not good but because I used them a lot in my last political commander and wanted to try something else, juste a personnal choice. It's the first time I see Debt of Loyalty and I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for your recommandations =D, I change a little bit the deck to fit your good ideas!

Awesome deck! It seems sweet, and I have some recommendations for this beauty.
I feel as if Kambal, Consul of Allocation could draw unwanted hate towards your way. Also, the deck doesn't have very much life-gain outside of Kambal and the commander, so Sanguine Bond seems somewhat situational.
Some favourites of mine are Powerstone Minefield , Standstill , Walking Desecration , or Dulcet Sirens . These aid in hindering the combat step whilst doing so in an indirect manner, thus turning aggression away from you. Mercy Killing can be removal with a gift attached, Debt of Loyalty is an awesome 'gotcha' card, Guided Passage is a fun tutor, and Suffocating Blast is a sweet two-for-one that I have never seen people expect.
Good luck, and may you pull the strings. :)

Ok that makes total sense Possibly a couple more damage sorceries and a few less recursion? Can’t recur them if you don’t draw them
Well. I wasn’t specific enough in my search. But these caught my eye

Oh, and Suffocating Blast also seems like a must. "Counter a spell + kill target creature" seems really, really good.
