Blue Black Faeries is back! This is one of the most challenging and also one of the most fun decks I've played.

Ideal opening hand includes a hand disruption spell and a Bitterblossom, then control the game while you develop your board. Mistbind Clique allows you to basically timewalk your opponent during their upkeep, and can even be bounced back for a replay with Cryptic Command or Familiar's Ruse.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver can use some of your opponents creatures to chump block or even attack in and win you the game. Jace Beleren is to draw you an extra card for three turns, and both planeswalkers can eat up an attack step from your opponent which often can give you another Faerie Rogue and extra attack to win the game.

Damping Sphere is an amazing sideboard card against Storm and combo decks like Eggs and Cheerios. Also comes in against Tron along with Ceremonious Rejection. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Spellskite are honorary Faeries against Burn and creature heavy decks -- just too good against those dekcs not to play. Leyline of the Void against Dredge and other graveyard strategies, and Unwind is perfect against other control decks countering a spell and leaving up mana to counter another or to flash in a creature.

The deck goes toe to toe with many top decks in the meta, out creaturing and countering Jund and Burn, and out countering other control decks. Tron can be challenge, but after sideboards the deck can usually win.

Any suggestions welcome!
