Lots of interesting ideas floating around about this card and here's my stab at taking the best of all of them and mashing it together

Originally had Bitterblossom as a 2 drop then thought about using Dark Confidant but i think the faeries really help save life from getting attacked or if your opponent is a slower deck you can use them to attack the life total. Seems like the best case scenario is a turn 5 kill but the deck has a considerable amount of disruption to mess with creature strategies and the occasional Mana Tithe to really catch people off guard.

This deck really seems to struggle against Karn Liberated so I added the Pithing Needle to help with that. Not really sure how to make the deck less dependent on Tainted Remedy but hopefully you can stop your opponent from trying to blow it up. Maybe in this shell I need to add some blue and just have counters to control the board better and stop my opponent from disrupting my strategy.
