Extended Faeries deck

Extended Faeries is a control deck centered around blue and black tribal Faeries. The core of most builds consists of <c>Bitterblossom</c> to produce a small army of faeries, along with strong creatures like <c>Scion of Oona</c>, <c>Sower of Temptation</c>, <c>Mistbind Clique</c>, <c>Vendilion Clique</c>, and <c>Spellstutter Sprite</c>. Faeries also uses a suite of strong counterspells, such as <c>Cryptic Command</c>, <c>Broken Ambitions</c>, <c>Rune Snag</c>, and <c>Remand</c> to keep enemy decks in check. <c>Mutavault</c> and <c>Faerie Conclave</c> are very popular manlands in faeries lists.
Although most decklists were blue/black, some decks splashed green for <c>Tarmogoyf</c> or white for <c>Path to Exile</c> and <c>Esper Charm</c>. Some even used only blue (or the Ravnica "shocklands" e.g. <c>Hallowed Fountain</c>) to take advantage of cards like <c>Vedalken Shackles</c> that benefited from using islands.
This deck, constructed by Jonas Wallendorf in 2009, features a primarily blue list.
