This is a very technical build, when piloted correctly can be best described as Aggro-Control. The build however, at its heart is a control build and plays very well into a curve designed for control enthusiasts.

Pay attention to Ojutai Command, choosing two of the four options under different circumstances ties the build together very nicely. Play your counters right away on turn two, remember, this is a Control build. Hit all of your land drops using Anticipate. Gain 1 life on your upkeep, and remember that Nyx-Fleece Ram can be used as an attacker helping trigger Kytheon into a planeswalker. Draw a card using Orator of Ojutai's enter the battlefield trigger. Control your opponents creatures using Icefall Regent.

You'll discover that this build is packed with many more synergies that will overwhelm your opponent, and present many beneficial option to your advantage.

Please fight the temptation of casting Kytheon any time before turn four. Kytheon is going to help protect your dragons, specifically Dragonlord Ojutai. After combat, and once Kytheon is transformed into his planeswalker self, you'll have the option to +1 Gideon untapping Dragonlord Ojutai making it hexproof and indestructible.

Casting Kytheon early would be a waste of mana. You would spend the next 3 potential rounds using your mana to keep Kytheon indestructible rather than using the mana on other important early round spells.

Also, put zero End Hostilities into this build. Aetherspouts is the proper removal spell and serves the build well.
