Inspired by Travis Woo's recent Woo Brew article on Channel Fireball, it's a purely Azorius version of his Bant Bident/Fog deck.

The strategy is to flood the board with flyers, mostly cheap ones, and activate the Bident of Thassa as many times as possible for massive cumulative card advantage. To protect from the opponent's more powerful creatures there's two fog-style spells in the form of Riot Control and Downsize . The bombs in the deck are Ascended Lawmage and Daxos of Meletis, particularly in combination with Aqueous Form .

The sideboard is designed to allow the deck to adjust for the threats it might face from control decks, hyper-aggro and enchantment removal.

Top tier? Hell no! Nevertheless, early tests suggest it's great fun to play, especially for a budget deck. The real downside is that failing to hit a Bident of Thassa by turn 5 or 6 will probably lead to a comprehensive defeat.
