"Enters the battlefield" triggers are nice and all, but they all face the disadvantage of only occurring once. At least, that's what most of your opponents expect. To this I say no more! Why cast a spell just once when you can bounce it back to your hand and get added value, or flicker it out and back in so you get the trigger again? With Acrobatic Maneuver, Displace, Essence Flux, and more, you can get Cloudblazer triggers time and time again! And when you throw in a few Panharmonicons and Angel of Invention, well, you do the math.

This deck also features synergizing control elements, like Reflector Mage, and Dovin Baan, and can then finish with board bounce and/or win condition cards, namely Crush of Tentacles and the aforementioned Angel of Invention.

...I tried. I tried so hard to make a blue/white control deck without Spell Queller. I told myself I had too many three drops, that when I flickered it, they were still able to cast their old spell instead of the new one. Yet somehow I couldn't stop my hand from clicking on the stupid spirit. I'm so sorry...

Please, if you have any ideas, questions, or suggestions, comment! It is much appreciated!
