I get how it works, and it is amazing with restoration, but there's something genuinely WRONG in my brain about blue/WHITE fae.

Your decks never cease to amaze me. When I get older, I would love to play in magic tournaments, do you have any general advice on how to become a better player?

:O Why thank you! I'm really glad you enjoy them :')

And my advice is, play in a group. Get some friends together, and constantly grind games. If you make a decision you're unsure about, reveal your hand, and go through the steps and explain why you made said decision. That way, you can get feed back on them, and having to actually verbally explain them forces you, yourself, to have an idea of why you acted a certain way. If you're unsure of a mulligan, show your hand, and ask for opinions, again explaining why you made your choice.

In my play group, we explain EVERYTHING. If a card's in our deck, we explain why. If a card's in our sideboard, we explain why. If we side a card out game 2, we explain why. If we make a certain play, we explain why. Always be able to explain your choices, and ALWAYS take your time. Practice is the key to magic- like anything, practice makes perfect.
In a tournament setting, the hardest thing to do is get comfortable. I've been in several top 8s where my nerves got the best of me, and because of this I made poor plays. Always take your time, and if you're making any decision whatsoever, pretend as though you were with your friends, explaining why you did so.

I have a ridiculous passion for the game, haha. Mainly, to be good, all it takes is drive. :') Good luck, and if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you for taking the time to answer Ethan. Sadly, one by one, my friends stopped playing magic; but my love for this wonderful game was too great for me to quit. Its a seemingly impossible dream for me to ever make a top 8, yet I may be wrong. I know I have that drive, but right now I don't have the time or money to use it. I pray magic doesn't die out before i can. Until it does, I'll be playing and practicing with what I have-proxy cards, a local Game Castle, Cockatrice, mtgvault, and a love of the game.
Thank you again, I hope you know your suggestions will go a long way. -Masa

Not a problem! And even though your friends stop, doesn't mean you have to! Standard is a relatively cheap format to get into- so is modern, in come cases! Makes some mtg buddies, that's what I did, honestly. I started playing at my local card shop, befriended a few guys, and now they're like brothers.

And man, sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. I hope all goes well, and never lose that drive ~

I'm way too tired at the moment, however, I definitely will.

Why does this look like "fish", but just with wings? Ooo, I like that for a deck name: "Fish with Wings" :p
Nice deck, the interaction of the creatures with one another is quite cool. Is there a reason you've left out spells like Cloudshift (Momentry Blink has a blue flashback)? You creatures have nice etb affects and only Restoration Angel to reuse them kinda sucks...

Hahaha, 'fish with wings'- I like that!

And there's a huge reason I left out blink cards- I simply don't have enough creatures to run them. This deck is essentially a control deck, and having only 15 (17 creatures with Spellskite) to blink seems like really poor odds for more blink cards.
Now, I know what you're thinking; doesn't that kind of argue against Resto? Well, not at all, actually. I included Resto because she, by herself, is an amazing creature, regardless. In a format dominated with lightning bolt, smother, flying delvers and geists of st. traft, a 4 drop 3/4 Flyer that could potentially gain you further value seems SOLID to me. :)

Also, considering cutting vials. They just seem weak.

I believe Vial only works properly in a deck with an average creature cmc of 2 or 3 and needs mana open. Or in a deck specifically designed to alter the number of charge counters on it to cheat in creatures, but then why not just use Quicksilver Amulet? Point is I agree that it's a little weak here. Lately I've come to like Village Bellringer, the "flash, untap all your creatures" allows for some big damage swings without worrying about defense (much) and it's a cool target for Restoration Angel's blink.
