SOME TIPS:
-
Attack, and THEN play a land
-
Play Faceless Haven one turn before you want to use it
-
Brazen Borrower can destroy shark tokens and bounce Omniscience against Lotus
-
Create REMOVAL DILLEMA once out of counterspells
-
Realize when the taxes of your counters can be paid for and then-
-
-switch to the beatdown phase and race to 20
-
The last activated ability of Ascendant Spirit can be activated multiple times
-
BE AGGRESSIVE in the first three turns
-
Flashing in Spectral Sailor in T2 endstep increases chances to connect with Curious Obsession without Counter Spell
-
Rattle Chains to flash in Mausoleum Wanderer and then play another spirit after that to counter bigger non-creature spells by surprise
