The basic strategy is to play lots of cheap creatures with good evasion, and then (thanks to Derevi) keep my mana open for counterspells and other stuff. Meanwhile, SOFI, Edrik, Bident of Thassa, and many of my creatures' abilities provide card advantage.The main win condition is a slow death by "small arms fire''; ideally with the support of swords.
