2 x  {Thragtusk}
3 x  {Restoration Angel}
4 x  {Silverblade Paladin}
1 x  {Angel of Serenity}

16 creatures

2 x  {Syncopate}
2 x  {Dissipate}
4 x  {Detention Sphere}
4 x  {Azorius Charm}
2 x  {Feeling of Dread}
3 x  {Farseek}
2 x  {Garruk, Primal Hunter}
1 x {Jace, Memory Adept}

20 spells

4 x  {Sunpetal Grove}
4 x  {Glacial Fortress}
3 x  {Azorius Guildgate}
3 x  {Selesnya Guildgate}
3 x {Plains}
4 x   {Forest}
3 x  {Island}

24 lands

Thanks for the look! Still working out a sideboard

Looks good so far. Probably my advice would be to not run spectral flight. I know it is kind of harsh on the cards, but the text "enchant creature" should be a turn off. It almost always just results in lost card advantage (CA).

Instead of spectral flight, I suggest more farseeks, or may maybe (if you want to go to 3 mana) geist of st traft!
