Sage/Nivmagus tempo. Two powerful threats, repeatable ways to enable them in the form of Cipher cards, and lots of protection for them. It requires mulliganing for one of the threats, but plays what feels like a strong (fun) tempo game. If only we had Mana Leak and Remand in Standard, this might actually be ok.
