Pretty solid into most yellow, green or blue matchups.
Red gives you a hard time. With early Water Elementals and Istanu its definitely possible to overwhelm them though. Still gotta watch out for big board clears by the means of Garudan or double Groundshaker.
Doomgate is mainly used to sacrifice Istanu. Don't mindlessly use it to draw early game unless you're very very VERY desperate. You want to keep as many creatures to swarm the board as possible.
You frequently end up with crowded hands due to the Mantas, Lore Thief and Spellwhirl. Failed Experiment + Stormspawn is a great way to deal with that. (credits to the infamous Superblizard)
Last but not least don't mind the anti synergy between Disciple and Istanu. Disciple is mainly used to defend early on and to bait your opponent into using transformation or hard removal to deal with it.
