I like the idea of stealing my opponent's stuff and sticking them with stupid 1/1s for U. However, a 2/3 that has to tap and then survive to untap is kind of fragile. Are there any good ways to protect it from getting killed immediately by Lightning Strike and Hero's Downfall? Spectra Ward isn't very practical, and there aren't many other "permanent" solutions. There are a few instants that can give it various kinds of protection or just plain counter a removal spell, but leaving mana open can get awkward. What's the least bad way to keep Daring Thief alive?
Yes, those cards are all good, but they don't really solve the Lightning Strike problem...
Well, Triton Tactics does protect it from Lightning Strike and Bile Blight, plus you probably want to run Tactics in an inspired deck anyway. As for Hero's Downfall, it's 3 mana for 3 mana, and they use a premier removal spell, so this should be worth it for you anyway. If you really need to stop it though, Negate is probably your best option.
