Its actually very easy to do: "Cipher is overcosted."

Fixing cipher requires we -1 to all mana costs. 

When playing Commander, before you add a card to your deck, you have to ask yourself:
"Is this card better than Rings ?"
If you play commander and don't have your deck[s] in the Decklist Compendium, maybe you should. Or if you're new or looking into the format, the compendium has some good advice for beginners as well as decklists.

Because there's nothing control likes more than playing cheap creatures and attacking with them.

I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine.

The main problem is that cipher is costed for how broken it can be in constructed, while everyone is just looking at it in the limited format at this point.

Cipher is at least 2 castings of a spell if played right and it makes your opponent use removal on weaker creatures To prevent that,  instant speed would be preferred though.   I'm waiting for a cipher spell for index, 1uu (or just uu) look at the top 5 and rearrange.

Don't forget, some things also care about the number of spells cast as much as whatever their effects may be.
