The gameplan is pretty simple. Attack unblocked and profit. You have cheap, evasive creatures and lots of ways to force bigger guys through. Once you're in you can do ninjitsu tricks, draw tons of cards off coastal piracy effects, or just win with Phage. I deliberately avoided tutors so games wouldn't play out quite so similarly and so I wouldn't stumble into infinite combos as often. I do like having access to them just in case other people aren't playing as nicely, but typically I just want people to be afraid of garbage like Cloud Pirates and Tormented Soul.

Combos:

Rite of Replication + Vela the Night-Clad Kicked Rite on Vela makes all opponents lose 30 life.Cloud of Faeries + Deadeye Navigator + Vela the Night-Clad Blink the Faeries infinitely and kill everyone with Vela.
