With a limited set of cards, I managed to make a deck that emphasizes the use of the dream reaver while also being my first blue only deck. I believe that you could replace the triton warriors with gabrian archons, but I don't have any of those, and have no current way to test them.
The idea is that you try to form lakes in a fashion that lets you dash the reaver all the way to the enemy god and also be able to fling a ninja toad, threatening a potential OTK. The arrangement is usually done in a crescent fashion, where your lakes go around the center to get the faeria wells, and your opponent would have probably arranged his lands that would be very fitting for a reaver to get straight to the face. If you get all 3 water elementals or Baeru early, you're in luck, but hopefully you have the faeria to utilize the speed with a dream reaver. Spellwhirll, battle toads, Gabrian commanders and triton warriors are great ways to keep up control early game, and big threats aren't a big concern, assuming that you have frogify and an early game lake formers at hand, but in the mid-late game it shouldn't turn you in so easily, since there are a good amount of transforming cards. Kaios is there to deal with scary numbers of weak units, and fugoro is a multi utility creature perfect for awaiting the dream reaver.
The only major downsides I see would be a tarum deck, as your primary win condition is completely sealed if they get it early. Getting hit in the face can be bad, but if the foe manages to get the "exodia" spot (a land tile right next to your god), they can just spawn huge units next to you, and your units aren't tough enough to deal with a constant onslaught of either forest gargantuars or god slayers like khalim or the templar. while pure natural decks may seem to be too aggressive, it's actually not a problem; your cards are good enough to put up with them, and they would have to split to deal with the flank attack.
Let me know how this deck goes. I've tailored it for a few hours now, and am really happy on how it turned out.
