This deck has one goal in mind: stop the opponent from doing anything. It wants to load isochron scepter with either orim's chant or silence.
This evolved deck from a more traditional enchantment-based deck (like Quinn) to a creature-based one. This transformation, in my opinion, can be solely attributed to this guy: grand abolisher. The biggest problem with a scepter/chant combo is that your opponent can still play instants and abilities during your turn. Abolisher solves most of the problems associated with this.
The rest of the protection comes from peacekeeper, and some other pieces of removal.
Aven Mindscensor does a great job of stopping fetches and SFM. Mother of runes is there to add a final layer of protection.
If you can get the scepter/chant combo out the first game, many decks will scoop, without even seeing the painter/grindstone. If they do see it, I play a luminarch ascenscion in the SB to mix up the attack.
