UW Flash is back! Times have changed and we now have a perfect meta for this deck. Spell Queller placed multiple decks at GPs this past weekend.

This deck is a fine option against Marvel and UR control. It can hang with zombies and Mardu, and has tools against fatty decks.

My version is emphasizes instant-speed interaction. It enables you to counter a lot of their plays when you need to. (9 counters main, 5 more side, plus we have Mausoleum Wanderer and a ton of removal-prevention options).

The game plan is simple: Stick a creature and keep attacking. Do your best to keep them from doing anything you don't like. If they do things you don't care about, just stick another creature or even just pass the turn.

The reason this works with a pile of lowpowered creatures is they have abilities. Spell Queller means they get nothing and you get a 2/3 flyer. Next they try to kill Queller, and Rattlechains means they get nothing and you get a 2/1 flyer. Next removal spell, they get a Selfless Spirit instead of the queller they wanted. Next thing cast gets Disallowed or Stasis Snared. And all the while you are hitting them for 4 points damage.

Dusk / Dawn is powerful against zombies (Lord of the Accursed or Liliana's Majesty), Gx midrange. It lets you save spells and let them have a couple creatures before you sweep them away.

Avacyn is powerful against anything that's smaller. You can block their chaff and live, or use selfless to survive her flip.

I want to test Nebelgast Herald. It switches up the game plan at a certain point to tapping stuff down pre-combat, making you less apt for counterspells, but could be effective at racing bigger decks, especially when you have an out like Dusk//Dawn after you persuade them to fill the board more.
