Might I recommend Mirror Mockery?

Toss it on one of their guys, it doesn't attack any longer without dying. Toss it on a Whirler Rogue, shit just got real.

I don't like playing auras without having creatures with hexproof. The opponent just needs one small removal spell to trade 2:1.

Descent of the Dragons would be a great wincon.

You only need Mirror Mockery to work once with Whirler Rogue to be effective. At that point even if it gets removed, you're still up two Thopter tokens. If you're really worried about removal, use Mirror Mockery on your opponent's creature instead.

+1!! it looks really effective for FNM, and I could build it just borrowing 3 Hangarbacks and 2 Chandra's folks

As a side note, I have been trying to include Mirror Mockery in a somewhat competitive list (let's say, capable of winning a small local FNM). The problem is the enchanted creature needs a really good ETB effect and/or haste, but most especially, it has to be resilient, as it needs to survive the combat phase to trigger sustainably the ETB effect of the token... Other good targets imho are Faerie Miscreant (sustainable draw assuming it survives); Sidisi's Faithful (sustainable bounce, unlikely to be blocked at first glance); Harbinger of the Tides (same but fragile), and Drowner of Hope (this one scales really well as its tapping effect is very non-linear). But, as brew_magus says, an underrated aspect of Mirror Mockery is ALSO its capability to neutralize an opponent's creature, especially one with bigger toughness than power... I made a deck project around it, here it is, FWIW...

Thopter spy network all the way in this deck. It is better then out post because it is giving you free value with the Thopter and because you go so wide you are sure to get a combat hit each turn I would maybe have a mix of both in side board

I won an FNM with Mirror Mockery/Whirler Rogue before BFZ was released. It works because you can tap the two newly created thopters to make Whirler Rogue unblockable, so it doesn't die simply to combat damage, and the opponent MUST use removal on it to get rid of it.

If you have not tried Mirror Mockery, do so. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Kalibroxin, that sounds like excellent tech, tap the new tokens to dodge combat damage... cool!

Yes. People were surprised to see Mirror Mockery being used offensively. I also used Clever Impersonator in my deck, to copy either Whirler Rogue, Mirror Mockery, Impact Tremors or Thopter Spy Network, but because of the way the deck worked, it wasn't uncommon for Mirror Mockery or Clever Impersonator to copy opposing Siege Rhinos as well.

Ok, you convinced me. I will try Mirror Mockery in sideboard the next tournament.

Have you considered running Altar of the Brood or Flameshadow Conjuring? I mainly ask because I am currently creating a deck pretty similar to this but for mono red and those cards should fit quite well into your design here if you wanted to try them out.

Also I wish I could give you two plus ones for making a deck with blue yet no true counter spells. YAY!
