Any deck ideas on how to use and abuse Favorable Winds  ? All I could really think was adding it to U/W tokens or just a pure U/W flyer deck. Anything else Im missing?

Probably the spirit Delver builds would be the way to go. Buffs Delver of Secrets  , Drogskol Captain  , Dungeon Geists  , and assorted tokens from Lingering Souls  , Midnight Haunting  , and Moorland Haunt  . It even sort of works with Geist of Saint Traft  by buffing his angel. Some of the Delver lists were already running anthem effects anyways, this is just a better version of that for them, since most of what they are playing are fliers anyways. Outside of that, I really don't see anywhere for it.

Yeah thats what I was seeing also. Another one that could benefit decently from it is Leonin Skyhunter  but no real room for it in any of the token decks.

It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

Don't overcommit; stack up lots of Anthems; save the flashback on Lingering Souls where possible; use Mana Leak.

Agreed, Spirit Delver is wild, and conveniently, it absolutely rolls the mirror. I posted my list somewhere else, but it's about like Indigo's. Though I wasn't maining Dungeons or Images in favor of maindeck Hauntings. Which I think was worse than having Images, but that does put your creature count pretty high. Wish you had room for the 4th Snag in there, but looks smooth.
Welcome to 2012. Blue has the most efficient creatures, black has the all-in monocolored aggro deck, the most controlling deck in the format is green-red, control decks lose to aggro in attrition wars, and counterspells aren't an answer to fatties.
Pack Rat is like Bitterblossom and Tarmogoyf had a black baby.

The build I came up with was pretty similar as well. Basically: -1 Mana Leak  -1 Snapcaster Mage  -1 Favorable Winds +2 Midnight Haunting +1 Vapor Snag  I had 2 Geist of Saint Traft in my board as well. It probably isn't needed though.

Yeah, in versions without swords or pikes, GoST is barely playable. Getting him chumped to death doesn't seem worth it.
This is definitely a deck to be looking at right now. Rolls the traditional mirror and has the potency to race ramp. With Snag you're able to outstrip most aggro too.
