Here's the only good U/W skies list I've seen so far. It's mine, btw. I don't actually plan on playing the archetype, I just thought it'd be fun to build it.

5 Island
7 Plains
4 Adarkar Wastes
4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Umezawa's Jitte
4 Mana Leak
4 Remand
4 Ninja of the Deep Hours
4 Pride of the Clouds
4 Azorius First-Wing
4 Mistral Charger
4 Lantern Kami
4 Suntail Hawk
4 Condemn
SB: 3 Pithing Needle
SB: 4 Paladin En-Vec
SB: 4 Drake Familiar
SB: 4 Faith's Fetters

whoa, that's amazing. It's so redundant. Everything is 4-of, the sideboard is 4-4-4-3, nice. 8 1-drops, 16 2-drops, 8 counters, 4 jitte, 4 removal. *pats self on back*

... *pats self on back furiously* this list DOESN'T SUCK!!!

mistral charger is there not a better card to run like Leonin Skyhunter?? i know it's WW but the deck is a blue splash and with 4 duals and 4 wastes should easily be able to do it turn 2.

I've been looking into making a skies deck and heres my thoughts, who says it needs to be weenie? Why not make it a psuedo-control type deck control/permission for the early game and turn 5 or so start pumping out creatures like nutz

4 Pride of the Clouds (duh)
4 Azorious Firstwing
3 Azorious Guildmage (dir)
4 Stoic Emphemera (5/5 for 3?! one time blocker ok?)
2 Kira Great Glass-spinner
4 Belfry Spirit (3 flyers for 5!?!)
Creatures x21

4 Mana Leak
4 Remand
2 Wrath of God
3 Terashi's Grasp
4 Reciprocate
Other spells x17

4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Adarkar Wastes
1 Miren, the Moaning Well
8 Plains
5 Island
Land x22

Obviously this is nowehere near optimal however, I have played it for a bit and have have had some success against Grull, WW, and Hand in Hand. Most of the games were on Apprentice, I'll be taking it to the next trial(I hope) After some heavy testing and some more tweaking well, duh lol.
