Sleep-Cursed Faerie
Creature — Faerie Wizard

Okay, I am back thank you for your patience. I don't know if you're just looking for advice or if you want a whole deck list, so I'll meet you somewhere in between.
So I use the manabox app for card listings. Turns out I miscounted and there are 35. If you put all but Twisted Riddlekeeper(potential color identity issues) in there you have a good start.
Perhaps the strongest cards in addition to Fear of Sleep Paralysis are Mjolnir, Storm Hammer, Monstrosity of the Lake and Scroll of Isildur; though even cards like Kitnap, Lost in the Maze and Sleep-Cursed Faerie can be a boon due to Tekuthal's activated ability and not be affected by Fear of Sleep Paralysis.
One card I recommend you add is Maskwood Nexus. Both Protocol Knight and The Watcher in the Water require creature types to be effective.
Speaking of Watcher in the Water, you'll need instant speed card draw. You're gonna need card draw regardless, but WitW will need feeding to be effective. This includes, but isn't limited to Archmage's Charm, Bane's Contingency, Jace's Archivist, Opt and Triskaidekaphile.
Triskaidekaphile is an Alternate Win Card as well, which you should have in your deck as a means of winning if you can't win by beating up your opponents. Other Alternate Win cards that would also fit the best in this deck are Central Elevator / Promising Stairs(To fully take advantage of the Eerie ability on Fear of Sleep Paralysis), Darksteel Reactor and Twenty-Toed Toad(which doesn't specify what counters apply to the win condition).
The latter two are fed well by your commander's static ability. Proliferate cards you can use include, but are not limited to, Contagion Engine, Contentious Plan and Inexorable Tide.
However, if you have a Commander like Tekuthal, it would not be wise to NOT take advantage of the proliferate ability. Crystalline Giant can give your creatures counters other than +1/+1, especially if you use Goldberry, River-Daughter to move hexproof counters onto your most important pieces. Power Conduit is another card that can strengthen your creatures. And you certainly can't go wrong with The Ozolith of you can afford it.
Ramp, like card draw, should be in every deck. Sol Ring is practically a necessity. Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice become mana fountains of their own once the charge counters are on and proliferating. Though cards like Arcane Melee, Defiler of Dreams and Urza's Incubator(which gets support from Maskwood Nexus) are just as useful.
And finally there's lands that can help with counters(like Nesting Grounds and Blast Zone), reusing spells(Like Mystic Sanctuary), redundancy(such as Reliquary Tower) and can offer elements of control not available to blue(such as Scavenger Grounds. Try this keep at least half lands as Basic Islands. That way, if you get hit with cards like Alpine Moon or Blood Moon it's not an immediate capitation.
Well, that it for my part. I hope this is a help, if nothing else than for inspiration. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

draftdump69 thanks for the suggestions! I watched YungDingo on youtube pilot the rona/goryo's vengeance deck; seemed deece. The deck where it is now, fairly budget constraint-wise; I've only got the ~12 tiks to work with on mtgo through the rental programs so though Urza, Emrakul, while undoubtedly make the deck better, a wee bit out of budget.
Grinding Station totally makes sense and probably find a spot in the deck. Other card-wise, I think this version will stay mono-U. Sleep-Cursed Faerie is a sleeper! but might not make the cut, not being an artifact. Mulling it over, the deck come across as artifact/go wide/aggro first, combo second/incidentally
keep them suggestions coming

rona, herald of invasion works with retraction helix + mox amber. more emries + rona might make playing more mox ambers make more sense. If you're playing 4 emries, having 4 Mishra's Bauble would be a no-brainer.
Urza, Lord High Artificer might also be a solid addition, allows you to generate infinite mana regardless of whether or not you have mox amber.
Generally, thassa's oracle is better than labman. other wincon considerations are Bitter Ordeal, Cut / Ribbons, Grinding Station or Grapeshot.
that being said, playing 1x emrakul is probably the best wincon. it would allow you to loot infinitely until you get an infinite mana enabler.
another direction to go is Sleep-Cursed Faerie. It might not go infinite but it can probably bounce your opponents board with retraction helix if you have an urza in play.
Quazer on Lazav, the Multifarious repeat cloning
1 year ago
From what I understand...
If I had Lazav, the Multifarious become a copy Sleep-Cursed Faerie in response to a spell targeting him he would gain ward 2 and the other player would need to pay to target him.
If that is the case, after the player pays the 2 and ward resolves, can I activate Lazav's ability again in response to the spell targeting him making him a new copy of Sleep-Cursed Faerie and thus making the player need to pay 2 again?

Nice deck. I would recommend Shore Up instead of Slip Out the Back for the additional utility of untapping Sleep-Cursed Faerie. I also love Hidden Strings to untap Sleep-Cursed Faerie or pseudo-ramp by untapping your lands or let you play things while leaving mana up for your counter spells. Favorable Winds is also nice to up the aggro since there are no lords to pump.
