The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Anything that makes rafiq unblockable is amazing: Venser (the pw), Sovereigns of lost alara into Steel of the godhead, maybe even artful dodge (although i haven't tried it yet). The same is true for evasion, angelic destiny and shield of the oversoul being favorites of mine. Add plenty of small exalted creatures that you can play before rafiq hits the field to increase exalted triggers (for instance, i think qasali pridemage and noble hierarch are auto-includes due to their low cmc, relevant abilities, and exalted triggers). I've found that running lots of board wipes works well, since rafiq alone will be your wincon in most cases. Tutors are always good: wargate, eldrami's call, worldy tutor, maybe even mystical tutor/enlightened tutor depending on your approach to the deck. I'd recommend additional ways to protect rafiq: more swords and lightning greaves/swiftfoot boots. Some card draw that's relevant: Garruk, primal hunter after increasing a creatures power with exalted triggers. Other cards that i include as protection in long games: propaganda and ghostly prison. That's pretty much all i've got on rafiq, good luck with deck construction!

this is for expanding and edh deck so I can only have one of each card.
so is this a sideboard, or are these cards you're considering to include?
Yes, these are cards to possibly include.
