A more casual Standard deck (ab)using Constellation and Skybind's blinking effect. Some control to help stall until Ashen Rider's ETB effect can wipe their board (or at least remove enough to kill them via flying damage). Could use suggestions for making this more competitive.

The big players here are Skybind, Ashen Rider , and Whip of Erebos. Skybind allows you to blink Ashen Rider once a turn, and until you get him on the field, blink their threats/blockers. If Ashen Rider ends up in the graveyard, reanimating it via Whip of Erebos will trigger its ability, and then Skybind can stop it from being lost forever.

The best part is you can attack with a 5/5 flier, and then blink him to exile things in your second main phase. If he dies while attacking, you trigger him again, and then simply whip him back in after.

Constellation will give extra value to each enchantment you play to trigger Skybind. The mix of card advantage and control should (hopefully) be enough to stall out long enough for you to remove most of their threats, or swing for the kill in the air.

The maybeboard consists of cards I have considered for either the main deck or side deck. I don't include a sideboard because I have yet to test this, and have no idea which matchups it may struggle against. Input welcome!
