Took this list from someone on this site but dropped some of the planeswalkers and added more instants.

I have been testing it and liking the way it runs. If you spot any glaring weaknesses in the strategy/ card choice, please comment!

Mantis Rider is the shidt. Simple as that. Planeswalkers and Stormbreath Dragon get it done, but so many times all you need are spot removal and some flying insects to win games.

Mind Swipe has gotten hated on in certain discussions but I like my results. Took a player from 15 to about 9 with two of them, countered two spells, and then he had to take more pain from mana confluence and lands to get back on track. Oh and you know who took that shidt? Mantis Rider ... thats who.

Nyx-Fleece Ram has also turned out to be incredible. I would love to find room for a fourth, but three seem to be more logical. but having two in play at the same time is just so good.

Clever Impersonator ing someone's bomb then Banishing Light ing it the next turn is hilarious. Or you can just Clever Impersonator your stormbreath dragon, or ANOTHER Banishing Light !!!! Lots of utility in this deck. Hope it performs this well in real life.
