So here is how it works. Use the first couple turns to get down your creatures like Ludevic's Test Subject   while you build your mana. Then around turn 3 it begins. You start countering annything and everything they try to play (within reason) as you stall time to bring out your finisers such as playing AEtherling or reaching 5 counters on Ludevic's Test Subject   and transforming it. In the mean time you are boosting yourself to stay alive and reach your win conditions with cards like Spark Trooper for fast damage and life gain and Mercurial Chemister for direct damage and card drawing.
