This mission that kicks off the second island of Oversky gave me some trouble at first, but this deck finally got me through Peace Blossom's excessive offerings of knowledge. I used this along with Sharra as my AI partner.
RNG will most definitely play a role in this match up since a good deal of your deck will likely be milled as your hand quickly fills with copies of Greater Wisdom. The idea is to play 2-3 forests in the first few turns and try to get something down that will stick. Then try and maintain board control until you and your partner can push for orb damage.
Keep buffing your main creature so that it will survive Peace Blossom's onslaught of high stat taunts. and support it with other taunts and creatures of your own. A Seedling is a great choice for this since it will continuously heal it self and gain attack whenever it's below 5 health. Be sure to keep an eye on your partners creatures as well. Buffing an allies creature so it can last another turn can mean the difference between success and failure.
Grab as much land as you can around your orb early before you have to start drawing and tapping for faeria. Wild Growth and Wood Elemental will help out here.
Try to keep your hand as full as possible once Peace Blossom starts dishing out Greater Wisdom. If you can afford it, it can work to your advantage to use one to fill out your hand. It's much better to have a hand full of cards you can use and mill one card than to lose two more slots in your hand to the next wave of Greater Wisdom.
The deck needed to be kept cheap since you're likely to run into a situation where you're not collecting much faeria for several turns. Wood Elemental is the only card that costs more than 3 faeria, and nearly half of the deck only costs 2.
This deck contains no epics or legendaries, so it's not too expensive. If you need to take Peace Blossom down on a budget, give this deck a try!
