of course, the deck that should be seen coming a mile away. this is my version on UW weenie. help is wanted.

lands:
4 hallowed fountain
4 adarkar wastes
7 island
7 plains

creatures:
4 azorius herald
4 lantern kami
4 suntail hawk
3 pride of the clouds
3 ninja of the deep hours
3 leonin skyhunter
2 azorius first wing
2 meloku
1 windreaver

spells:
2 spell snare (thinking of dropping)
4 remand
4 glorius anthem
2 mana leak

why do i have the ninja of deep hours in there? azorius herald. 8 life can be a big advantage.

Why have 3 leonin skyhunters and just 2 Azorious first wing? Isn't the firstwing superior in every way, including a more consistent casting cost with such an evenly divided mana base?if you only want 5 - 2 mana 2/2 flyers, I would go with 4 first wings and 1 leonin.

I Have been trying this for like 3 days on a row, and i have this score 17-7 I take each game I play. I was thinking why do we need that quantity of flyers?... we want pride to be powerfull, but we dont realize that this kind of strategy can be beatdowned with a single arashi or a silklash spider. so we deont what that, we need more control.

I will excuse the Shoal:

Its known that as you can see i can draw lots of cards, and sometimes the forecasted ability wont let me play the forescast card the same turn so i tought that while im completely tapped out i can have a trick against some cards like cranial, jitte, pyroclasm, meloku, GG, WoG, and some other 2,4,5 cc dangerous cards.

SOAD, um have you noticed all the decks that are currently being presented none of them play either its true if you run into a old glare deck they can channel it but its not like we cant draw more creatures.

Probably suboptimal but i feel it can be quite powerful.

Maindeck - lots of flyers... little countering ability and jitte.. herald + ninja gives some card advantage.. Pride can get very strong.

post sideboard opposing aggro strategies become useless as prison+fetters+herald should just roll over them.

Needles are in there for annoying lands / jittes/ glare / good

mana leaks are additional counterspells vs wrath of god

2 meloku probably could be replaced in the sb but i have no idea with whah

then the ninja its gonna be escused.

Ok look we have 8 first turn drops, so at a rank of 75% we can get them down and at a rate fo 40% its going to be a flyer, so for when your creature atacks you could get it switched with ninja, to draw more cards, as fast as you can. Â¿why I'm getting a good card sooner? coz its an Aggro-Control deck, and as any other contro deck needs card advantage for getting the control part be powerfull, just look at madness, first turn it gets a creature and a card advantage, with carefull study and rootwalla, and then it gets mongrel on T2, so as a guide for this A-C deck we could get or the creaure we switched and a counterspell or we can drop down En-veck.

Also ninjtsu can take back to your hand the forecast cards. so we can draw more cards or place more toknes.
