    Fun planeswalker with really potent abilities.  Combine that with blue's obnoxious bouncing effects and you have a deck that should drive other players nuts!

    Creatures (3):
    Brazen Borrower (M)
    Niambi, Esteemed Speaker (M)
    Barrin, Tolarian Archmage (M)

    Spells (4):
    Sublime Epiphany (M)
    Stitch in Time (M)
    Enthralling Hold (R)
    Quasiduplicate (R)

    Supports (3):
    Dimir Guildgate (C)
    Orzhov Guildgate (C)
    Azorius Guildgate (C)


    This deck features a lot of what makes blue cards... blue.  Meaning bounce effects, disables, even full blown creature stealing!  The supports are not what makes the deck run - hence why they're all gates.  Of course, they do work well together for bursts of mana gains every now again until you get enough of them out.  It also helps that the majority of cards have mild to low mana costs (majority of cards costs 12 or less to cast) - which means lots of hand dumps from time to time!

    Creatures are designed around bouncing a single target... Brazen Borrower.  Brazen Borrower's adventure effect is one of the more obnoxious effects - bounce a single creature or a non-token support (including vanguards and lands!) that also has flash for surprise attacker denial.  Naimbi and Barrin both excel at bouncing your own creatures back to your hand - which is great for Brazen Borrower as this refreshes the adventure for another cast!  In addition, Barrin will give full mana to Brazen Borrower while Niambi gives a modest mana, life, and loyalty gain; all for bouncing "your own creatures".

    Did you notice the quotation marks on "your own creatures," right?  Well Teferi has taken taking your opponent's creatures to another level.  Teferi's second ability can target opponent's creatures, gives you a copy to control, while disabling theirs.  Why not add salt to the wound by flat out stealing it with Enthralling Hold and controlling a freshly reinforced creature?  Is that creature hexproof?  No worries, just use Sublime Epiphany to disable it, drain mana, draw a card, bounce a non-land support, and reinforce your first creature; all at once, and it has flash for attacker denial!  Stitch in Time is a great card for Teferi because of extra turn shenanigans while Quasiduplicate acts like a wildcard reinforce mechanic for when you are having trouble returning Brazen Borrower to your hand...
