A mono-blue aggro deck backed up with evasion and a full arsenal of counter-magic. Won two Store Championships in a row (both times undefeated).

Basic Strategy:
- get a creature out by turn 2
- attack every turn
- stick Curious Obsession on a flyer or Mist-Cloaked Herald
- be careful about playing Tempest Djinn unprotected, but...
- take calculated risks, always push damage
- remember that Merfolk Trickster and Warkite Marauder remove ALL abilities, including flying

Sideboard Strategy:
- creature decks - swap out Nightveil Sprite for Faerie Duelist , also Sleep
- control/creature-light decks - swap out one Island and some number of Exclusion Mage for more counter magic
- burn/aggro decks - consider Diamond Mare if you're down a game, but I usually wouldn't bother and treat the same as creature decks
