Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
I wanted to try and fit Thornwind Faeries in,
but to no avail. As a result, this is another deck that is virtually or
exclusively Lorwyn. As I mentioned above, this is your normal tribal
deck. It has a lord creature with Scion of Oona. That allows it to make
all faeries bigger, which you want.
After that, we have countermagic in the form of Faerie
Trickery and Spellstutter Sprite. This gives you just enough
countermagic to protect your faeries without being too dangerous at the
table. You don't have significant removal, so you may have to use your
countermagic as proactive removal. Pestermite is a great faerie because
it has flash and it can tap or untap a permanent. My favorite trick was
to use it in the prerelease to tap a land during my opponent's upkeep
after my third turn had completed. It turned a 2/1 flyer for three mana
into a mini-Time Walk. You can also use it to untap a bigger creature
like the Mistbind Clique or Wydwen.
The Clique can be a powerful swinging effect. Playing
a 4/4 flyer for four mana is strong, but using it to Mana Short an
opponent is even better. For best effect, use it during an upkeep, or
lock down someone's mana on your turn if they are playing
counter-control. The Sower of Temptation is a great faerie because of
the Control Magic effect, but don't expect the faerie to stay around for
very long. Even if no one targets it for removal, there are always
Pyroclasms and Infests and Deeds going off. You will lose your Sower as
collateral damage, let alone it being targeted by the person whose
creature you stole.
Dreamspoiler Witches is one of only two cards in the
deck that use Black. At first, you might wonder why it was included
since only one instant is in the deck. However, it will trigger off of
all of the flash you have, and you do have a lot of flash. Teferi is
this deck's homeboy. Faerie Conclave fits the deck because of the
faerie-ness of the land. If you have a Scion out, then the Conclave
benefits.
I don't think that Wydwen is a super amazing faerie.
Compared to the other leaders, he seems a little underpowered. (Brion is
a 4/4 for four mana with two rock-solid abilities, Doran is essentially
a 5/5 for three mana with a game breaking ability, Gaddock is a 2/2 for
two mana with a great pair of abilities, Horde of Notions is a 5/5 for
five with four abilities, Nath is a 4/4 for five with built in card
advantage, Sygg is a 2/2 for two with two good abilities, and Wort is a
3/3 for four with built in card advantage.) Of all of the gold tribal
leaders, only three have a power/toughness lower than their casting
cost. Of those three, two have significant card advantage built right
in, plus another major ability. What does Wydwen have? Flash? Flying?
The ability to self-bounce if you spend both mana and life? This is
simply not on par with any of the other leaders. Sure, Wydwen doesn't
suck, but it's not as good as any other leader. I'm playing it because
it is a 3/3 faerie, and the tribe needs that size of creature. That�s
the only reason Wydwen is getting played.
