Light-Memes centers around Light-Paws and a few good creatures with disturb to stack auras and create a small set of powerful creatures that can break through or slip past enemy lines to deliver fatal damage as quickly as possible.

Disturb allows weaker creatures like Lantern Bearer and Twinblade Geist to be used as chump blockers when needed and have their key abilities recycled as auras. It also triggers Lightpaws ability and allows you to fish for important auras that turn your fox into an unstoppable juggernaut.

Katilda benefits both from auras and the other spirits in lantern bearer and twinblade geist. With flying and lifelink, she's an incredible wincon in her own right, and disturb allows you to stick that power right onto something else if she drops.

The obvious weakness here is removal, which is where the defensive spells come into play. Slip out the back, Make Disappear, and Valorous Stance serve to block removal and allow the onslaught to continue. Valorous stance also works great for big threats like sheoldred, defiler of vigor, and haughty Djinn.

Tamiyo, Completed Sage serves both as a way to lock down a big creature, and as a way to fish auras back out of the graveyard if need be.

An earlier version of this deck has made it to Diamond 4 on MTG arena, and I'm continually adjusting it to get it more consistent.
