Main goal of the deck is to generate value through flickering.

Lines of play in the deck include flickering Blade Splicer to create free tokens, flickering Reflector Mage to remove opponent's creatures, flickering Wall of Omens to draw cards, and flickering Flickerwisp on an opponents turn (with Restoration Angel/Cloudshift) to remove attackers. Flickering Thragtusk creates tokens and gains life.

Sagu Mauler and Akroma, Angel of Fury are the best morph creatures to cheat into play because they are hard to remove (hexproof/pro white/blue), can't be chump blocked (trample), and are powerful enough to stomp over Siege Rhino and Tarmogoyf.

The general game plan is to out-value your opponent by 2 for 1-ing them use flicker effects. If they try to bolt a splicer flash in resto angel in response to negate the bolt and create an extra token. If you can set up a couple of these scenarios in the mid game it is back breaking for the opponent.
