U/B Faeries was a popular aggro-control deck in the 2008 Standard format. Of all the typal themes to emerge from Lorwyn block, Faeries proved the most popular, leading to consistent Top 8 finishes in major tournaments.
It wins games with its namesake Faeries, evasive creatures with flash and good comes-into-play abilities acting as counterspells are board control. These are backed up with the format's best spells like Cryptic Command and Thoughtseize to control and overwhelm the opponent.
