Control the board with cheap and flying creatures and finish your opponent with a big flying creature boosted by a big "Gift of the Rakoa" !
You'll need 3 yellow lands + 3 blue lands + 1 (and at the end 2) green land(s), so this isn't quite a rush deck, and yet, as a matter of fact, you'll often finish like in a rush deck, alone on the board (!)
-"Drakkar skycaptain" is the key, he'll boost all your creatures while harvesting faeria.
-"Tale of the old turtle" vs "Iona's smile" : i had to make a choice, i prefered "Tale of the old turtle", it is more expensive but you'll draw 1 more card and have a chance of getting some cheaper creatures (which often give you multiple creatures when played or die).
-The real problems you could encounter are against rush (red) decks, against them there is only one solution, trying to (double) collect while killing their creatures, in many cases they'll run out faeria very quickly, but they often play creatures that give faeria in combat...everything is a question of luck too...
-Mulligan: avoid all creatures with a cost of many multiple lands, seek for "Drakkar skycaptain" before everything, "Sky yak", "Oversky township".
Have fun (and respect your opponent)!
