Picklock Prankster

Creature — Faerie Rogue

Flying, vigilance

(You may cast Picklock Prankster from exile if you sent it on an adventure.)

---

Free the Fae

Instant — Adventure

Mill four cards. Then put an instant, sorcery or Faerie card from among the milled cards into your hand. (To mill a card, put the top card of your library into your graveyard.)

(Then send this card on an Adventure in exile. You may cast the creature portion from exile.)

(You may cast Free the Fae for {1}{U} from anywhere if you would have permission to cast it in that zone, then exile it on an adventure instead of putting it into your graveyard. When you have not chosen to cast Free the Fae and put it on the stack, this card is treated only as Picklock Prankster in whatever zone it is in.)

(When not exiled on an adventure, Adventure cards function identically to modal double faced cards when regarding to the interactions of cards that look at them or attempt to cast them.)

Some creatures to consider to give you a better early game:

Picklock Prankster - Can be played to dig for more cards at instant speed (faeries or instant spells), and is a cheap creature to play.

Hypnotic Sprite - Option to play as counter and play as creature makes it a useful card. Not high power, but playable.

Spellstutter Sprite - Probably one of the best faeries you can play as it is a cheap flash creature that serves as counter magic.

Faerie Miscreant - A decent one drop option. Only really useful to give you early board presence that helps with Spellstuter Sprite, but also chance to give you card draw if you can open with more then 1 copy.

If you can afford:

Brazen Borrower - One of the best aggressive creature options you have that also serves as early bounce. Understable that it is hard to obtain due to cost ($$$), but if you can use them I would definetly say this would be a must for this kind of deck.

Cards I would remove:

Wasp Lancer - To slow and over costed

Glen Elendra Liege - Not enough multi colored creatures to take proper advantage of its bonus.

Cards I would trim copies:

High Fae Trickster - Would only run up to 2 copies due to high mana value of card. Personally would not use.

Faerie Swarm - overcosted if you don't have creatures on board, if you have creatures you might already be winning due to flying aggro. Maybe 1 or 2 copies in deck.

Oona, Queen of the Fae - Very late game card in a deck that doesn't really have a way to build to late game, seems like bad fit for this deck. Would only use it as a one of fun of, but ultimately cut.

Lastly I would suggest maybe some cheaper bounce spells like Fading Hope so it is easier to do something like bounce a threat and counterspell it on its way back to the board. Fading hope adds extra bonus to get some scry action and even can be used on own creatures as a form of protection.

Picklock Prankster now counts as a blue card, but I don't think it's adding to the count? I have 37 cards with blue pips, but it only counts 36.

Picklock Prankster doesn't count as a blue card on the card cost pie chart.

No local tonight because of finals.

I've done a bunch of playtesting on arena and I've realized that Ledger Shredder and Otherworldly Gaze are much better than I've given them credit for. I decided to shave a combo piece and run 4 Shredders. Still keeping 1 Thing In The Ice mainboard because you never know when you're going to need to fight some go over the top stompy deck or something.

Cut Pieces of the Puzzle for Otherworldly Gaze since Picklock Prankster makes it much worse and that slot mainly exists for Delve fodder.

Every game felt winnable. Not bad for a first week. Currently looking at a Picklock Prankster build with a ton of one-ofs in the sideboard. I’ve been informed that the Phoenix mirror is luck dependent so maybe I’ll look into teching for that.

I have a few suggestions:

1. Perhaps Faerie Mastermind for more card draw/turn on Spellstutter Sprite?

2. Faerie Fencing as a two replacement for Peppersmoke. By all means keep one Peppersmoke in the mainboard.

3. I recommend 2xQuickling over Faerie Impostor, simply for the flash.

4. You have lots of creatures, any thought of running Obyra, Dreaming Duelist or Tegwyll, Duke of Splendor in here?

5. If you need some more support you could run Spell Stutter for some counter magic.

6. Finally, since you are running Bitterblossom, have you considered running Rankle, Master of Pranks or Picklock Prankster?

Faerie Duelist wouldn't be a bad sideboard option against aggressive decks either.
