This deck is literally to make your opponent take everything back, as soon as he thinks his strategy's all worked out. As you can see, there aren't many multiple cards. That's because of Index, Krovikian Sorcerer, Eye Spy, Worldly Counsel, etc. Now you have all the cards you need, and you won't have to worry about drawing them on your upkeep.

With all the counterspells in the deck, you should have control of your opponent's board by the middle of the game. You have made sure that the board is wiped clean to make room for Air/Water Elemental. If you can whip out a 4/4 flying creature while your opponent is still trying to get his 2/2s out of his hand, he is putty in your hands.

If, say, he sneaked a Lord of the Pit past you, just play Time Ebb and Eye Spy and you have the game.

Try it out!
