A take on one of the classic yellow archetypes. Windborn Champion is the big payoff and makes for a great late control tool and double collector. Starting with a desert to the side is the standard opener I would recommend. This makes for a very protective archer setup and frees up the powerwheel for draw and additional Faeria. By the time you have established collection to both of your wells with 4 deserts or 3 deserts with a flyer you can start digging for champion and transition into your last special land. With a low event count your archers will not be as big of a threat as in other lists with heavier synergy. Here it is often used in the context of finishing up trades or simply to collect and deny your opponent colletion by threat of positioning. On the same token loosing an archer is not as big of a loss as the deck functions well without it.
Have fun!
