This is a very solid W/U/B Deck and has always been fun to play.

It plays pretty straight forward. Get out Creatures as fast as possible and buff them with Exalted (from Ethercaste Knight / Ardent Plea) or with Tempered Steel. When you are lucky you can make them unblockable with Steel of the Godhead. There is also some lifegain through that card and Windwright Mage. Also most creatures have or can gain the flying ability such as Esper Stormblade and Windwright Mage.

For defense Ethersworn Shieldmagen makes a darn good job. But 3 mana is a bit costly. Tidehollow Strix is a good creature to have on your opening hand due to its deathtouch ability. Stoic Rebuttal is a good counterspell for artifact decks that can be played for two mana in later turns.

Though this deck works without a finisher I love Sharding Sphinx and is very cheap to acquire.
