Step 1, you cast blue/green spells. Step 2, you smack things around with them things. It's creature focused to get the most out of my commander, using lots of UG creatures or a green then a blue creature to keep a steady flow of creatures dropping. There are a number of cards to tutor for that keep the field safe while dropping creatures: of particular note are Soul of New Phyrexia, Kira, Great Glass-Spinner, Tajuru Preserver, and Archetype of Endurance , keeping them safe from everything short of mass exile. For those spells, I have counterspell creatures like Mystic Snake, Glen Elendra Archmage , and Draining Whelk . There is also a +1/+1 counter subtheme that has been worked into the deck a bit. I also try to have a toolbox theme going, meaning that I have a creature based answer for nearly anything that's coming up in the game.

Regal Force , Vigor , Craterhoof Behemoth, and Consecrated Sphinx are a little expensive for my taste or they'd go in; generally, I like to have my cards less than $10. I will also reserve judgement on Kalonian Hydra : it may or may not go in.

Strionic Resonator has not been amazing in my playtesting thus far; it has done alright a few times, but most of the time when I've 2 mana left to my name after dropping a UG creature, I'd rather go for another UG creature of the appropriate mana cost. It's really more of a win-more, when the hope is that generally this deck will be a bit more surgical, grabbing the one answer I need, quickly, rather than just getting and dumping creatures.

Deadeye Navigator will probably not make an appearance, as he's generally not much fun in my meta. I'm trying to find room for Propaganda, Loaming Shaman, and Duplicant , and maybe a bit more removal/counter magic like Rapid Hybridization, Swan Song, or Dissipate . Wild Pair and Equilibrium are also VERY interesting.
