I decided to build a deck around the many uses of Cloudshift. Also keep in mind Conjurer's Closet works just like cloudshift.

1. Cast Fiend Hunter, as it comes into play, its first ability goes onto the stack. In response, i would cast Cloudshift on my Fiend Hunter. Fiend Hunter's second ability will be put onto the stack (doing nothing). A "New" Fiend Hunter will be put into play from Cloudshift resolving, And i can choose a new enemy creature if i want. The old "Fiend Hunter"s first ability will resolve exiling a creature forever.

2. Cast Zealous Conscripts, choose a target non-land permanent to obtain until end of turn. Then attack if necessary and eventually use Cloudshift to keep the stolen creature.

Another great use for Zealous Conscripts is stealing a planeswalker when its close to using it ultimate then using the ultimate for myself. I recall one time stealing a Jace, Architect of Thought and a Tamiyo, the Moon Sage by cloudshifting my zealous conscripts and triggering both of their ultimate's.

1. Cast Snapcaster Mage then Cloudshift to obtain two target instants or soceries with flashback until end of turn.

2. Attack with Aurelia, the Warleader to obtain another attack phase, then Cloudshift her to obtain another attack phase, etc.

3. Cast fiend hunter, then end turn with two Conjurer's Closet to ditto the first use of cloudshift.

4. Cloudshift also works with Foundry Champion when its flickered

Other than that all my other cards support the deck by controlling the board with removal spells such as Terminus Devastation Tide and Vanishment . They also support fiendhunter getting out of the closet among with Niv-mizzet but he will tell us more about it in dragons maze.
