After several revisions, I think I'm finally happy with this one.

Basically your goal is to build a defensive wall to block incoming attacks while hitting directly for their life total with unblockable creatures.

A good chunk allows you to tap your opponent's cards, preventing them from using them against you.

Doorkeeper lets you mill your opponent's library -1 for each Defender you have on the battlefield, and Jace, Memory Adept does this too.

Low CMC and 21 lands means you can play things right out of the gate and you always have options.

With Hada Spy Patrol leveling up and Ludevic's Test Subject   becoming a 13/13 with Trample, you'll find it easy to gain the upper hand swiftly. Hunted Phantasm is a cheap (3 CMC) unblockable that nets you 5x 1/1 Goblins, allowing you to block things a bit easier.

Clone can get you some flexibility if you need more Defenders or Unblockables at a moment's notice. If your opponent is smashing you with something you don't like, nail 'em to the wall with Claustrophobia.

If your opponents like to raise hell, send them to bed with Sleep.

Icy Blast, although being the featured card, is not actually in this set anymore. Sleep is a far better alternative in my opinion, I just really like the artwork for Icy Blast.
