Blue, white, and green are my favorite colors in Magic. I think blue is probably the least fun color to play against, but the card advantage coupled with counterspells that will answer most legitimate threats is hard to pass up. I also have had a real big thing for lifegain over the past year or so. Rhox Faithmender enticed me, now I've been on a kick with Horizon Chimera and Sphinx's Revelation. I just really want to double my lifegain, I guess? The deck is pretty simple - counter their big spells, supreme verdict it all away if it's needed, trade away horizon chimeras if needed, buy time until they run out of cards and I resolve Sphinx's Revelation. Eventually I can recur everything using Elixir of Immortality, which can lead to degeneracy - my library can quickly just become counterspell/removal dense, making it hard for my opponent to create any sort of winning line of play.
