Largely speaking, the concept behind this deck is "They can't block you if they can't reach you." That being said, all creatures in this deck have flying. The main goals are to pull Leyline of Anticipation, which has been made easier with the addition of Idyllic Tutor. Your win conditions then become Approach of the Second Sun, if you can pull it, or dealing damage with your fliers, using Kangee, Sky Warden to buff attacks and bolster defense.

Other important card combinations include using Warden of Evos Isle and Watcher of the Spheres to make everything just that much cheaper and Serra's Guardian to let you swing your entire board every turn. Having Sphinx of the Second Sun paired with Leyline also makes for a very powerful combination.

Major weaknesses to note are other flying decks and very fast developing decks, as this plays rather slow.

This is still being play tested, so drop a comment if you think any cards should be swapped out!

Changelog: Entreat the Angels, Essence Capture, Banishing Stroke, Bone to Ash, Disruption Protocol, and Cloudkin Seer were swapped out for Lofty Denial, Cryptic Command, Thirst for Discovery, Gideon's Sacrifice, Steel-Plume Marshal, and Wash Away.
