Just what it says on the tin.

The goal is to protect Talrand, Sky Summoner with your spells while simultaneously creating an army of drake tokens. Flipped Delver of Secrets   with Runechanter's Pike (or a token with Pike) is an alternate win-con. The only problem I've had so far is that this deck can be just reactive if you don't get your engine going in early game.
