Deck Description

Butterknife: a version of stone blade with some value mechanics to max out efficiency.

The theory is simple, your win condition is to grind an equipment into a win, and getting there is made easier by all the delightful weenie and control value cards. The idea for the deck hit when I realized that Voice of Resurgence is an absolutely DELIGHTFUL card. I have no idea how I haven't valued it more highly until now. If you're going against control, it eats it alive. Worst case scenario its a 1 for 1 against an exile card like Prismatic Ending, but against red, black, or green its at least a +1, and against blue its potentially + a hell of a lot. It's also its own built in win condition, as every critter you spawn with it pumps the swarm. Against control, that's game over unless they waste a bolt on it early and give you the +1. Combine that with Esper Sentinel and you've got a build that makes control eat its own lunch.

Stepping off that line of thinking, splashing green into black/white lets you pump up the Prismatic Ending, as well as juice the sideboard (which I haven't made cause those are hard).

Curve is low, so Dark Confidant won't hurt you. Plenty of life mechanics to offset the bleeding from lands and Confidant, if necessary. Grave hate baked in, cause its ubiquitous in modern nowadays for some reason. The rest is fast value cards that each give you tempo or material or both.
