Rule of Erayo.

Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
When going for the 4-spell turn, it's OK if Erayo herself is part of the sequence as long as she's not spell #4 (she can be #1, 2, or 3, though). It's also OK if spell #4 is an Unsummon targeting Erayo (necessary if there are no other creatures on the table)—she'll flip into an enchantment before Unsummon resolves, so the Unsummon will be countered. Here's where to be careful: Don't play Rule of Law before Erayo flips, or she'll be stuck as a Moonfolk forever! At best, you can play Rule of Law as card #4 of the turn. This is one combo where the order you play out the pieces matters.

Of course, denying your opponent any new spells for the rest of the game doesn't necessarily mean that you win. A single annoying creature on the board can spell doom unless you get rid of it. In particular, Aether Vial is nearly impossible for the deck to beat, so Pithing Needle might be a good addition.

Other possibilities for the deck include Wayfarer's Bauble and low-cost counterspells such as Mana Leak. Rewind can also be good: Your opponent plays a spell, you Rewind it, you untap all your lands, and now you're just 2 instants away from flipping Erayo.
