Notes
 
This midrange deck controls the early game with Counterspell, Spellstutter Sprite, and weak flyers. Once it has access to enough mana or discounted costs (especially Warden), flyers swarm the opponent. Card draw and repeatable enter-the-battlefield effects combine to maintain card advantage throughout the game.

Inspired by a pauper reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pauper/comments/4nadlw/card_discussion_warden_of_evos_isle/

My first attempt at this had many creatures with flash and very little happening on turns 1 and 2. So I kept tinkering until most of my high cost flash-based cards were removed in favor of 1 and 2 drop creatures and spells (i.e. Delver is not the best fit in this deck but has a better chance of going off in the first 4 turns than Cloaked Siren, which is what it replaced).

Some card choices are driven by the paper cards I happen to have on hand.

After first test game, decided to move out Delver of Secrets and Jwar Isle Avenger in favor of 4 Faerie Squadrons.
