I have a more casual playgroup, and they have been rather desperately needing a X counter deck.

I chose Wydwen, the Biting Gale bc she has flash and makes a very effective (and annoying/hard-to-remove) blocker and evasive attacker. She effectively reads ": Target creature becomes blocked."

I also wanted to avoid anything too cEDH, so the build here is suboptimal. It also means I wanted to avoid a combo wincon, as those can be rather feels-bad.
