9. Blue/White Fliers

Five mana is cheap for a 3/4 flier that can deal with almost anything on the field. Embalm lets you do it again for a good price. 

Blue/White Fliers Example List

Based on the Azorious Ascension preconstructed deck (precon), this deck is a great introduction to tempo strategies. You have a small band of strong, evasive creatures. The rest of the deck is built to protect those creatures and disrupt your opponent’s gameplan. You establish a threat and then go on the defensive, dealing damage whenever it is safe.

By protecting a single early threat, you are effectively keeping your opponent a turn behind you. As the game progresses your opponent has to choose between removing your threat and trying to establish a board presence. Counterspells and removal make it very hard for them to do that. As they struggle to choose, you slowly chip away at their life total, drawing card after card.
