I always felt the Converge mechanic from BFZ was underrated. I think it's finally found its place with Aether Revolt and its fantastic ability to make an abundance amount of counters and put them on things. There is a surprising amount of synergy among the creatures. Still currently thinking of ideas for the sideboard.

The Flyers Drana, Liberator of Malakir and Skyrider Elf are the real MVPs. With Metallic Mimic or Winding Constrictor to play Skyrider Elf for 3 but it be a 4/4 flyer is just powerful! Woodland Wanderer is so good late game, and to be honest, I don't understand how Ridgescale Tusker is only an uncommon. It is a finisher in it's own right of distributing counters on everything.

I've playtested a bit already, this version has had great success so far. It's fast enough against control and enough lasting power for other midrange and aggro decks.
