Key ideas:

• Tagline: Aggressive control
• Delver of Secrets   for a cheap, powerful flier
• Spellstutter Sprite is a creature-based counter, and Ninja of the Deep Hours can return it to hand to be used again, drawing a card in the process when it hits our opponent.
• Faerie Miscreant to add to our flying force, often drawing us cards on entry. Ninja of the Deep Hours can repeat this card draw by returning these to our hand.
• A number of counters to take care of our opponents' threats: Counterspell, Daze, and Snap.
• Augur of Bolas, Ponder, Preordain and Gush to find what we need.
• Mutagenic Growth to pump up our fliers when needed.
