Birds and 8 2-mana Counterspells!

Now that Cat is banned, our biggest vulnerability is gone. Clear skies ahead!

This deck quickly got me through diamond into Mythic and still rising.

Play a 1 drop, maybe a 2 drop, then ride the tempo wave with counterspells, board control, and flash creatures. Then smash-kill with Rally.

Mythic!

This archetype WORKS! There are a ton of obvious changes that could be made. If you make changes, the main things to watch out for are:
- not too many tap-out creatures or spells, lest the counters fail to be active.
- color balance. You might want Staggering Insight or more of those UW birds, but watch out you don't get stuck unable to cast UW + UW spells.
- tapped lands. I have 6 lands that come in tapped. You don't want more. You can go for more temples, less triomes.
- I think we want more Mystic Subdual because there are a few creatures that cause trouble: Stonecoil, Priest, whatever mono-red creature, Ajani's Pridemate, any big flyer.
