Okay, so a swing at perhaps the most powerful deck out there.
// Deck file for Magic Workstation (http://www.magicworkstation.com)
// Lands
8 [LRW] Island (2)
4 [LRW] Secluded Glen
4 [SHM] Sunken Ruins
4 [LRW] Vivid Creek
4 [SHM] Reflecting Pool
// Creatures
4 [LRW] Nameless Inversion
4 [LRW] Scion of Oona
2 [SHM] Puppeteer Clique
4 [LRW] Sower of Temptation
4 [LRW] Spellstutter Sprite
4 [LRW] Mistbind Clique
// Spells
4 [LRW] Broken Ambitions
4 [LRW] Cryptic Command
2 [EVE] Dream Fracture
4 [MOR] Bitterblossoms
Basically, counter everything, win with Puppeteers and Sowers. Or Scions with flying beaters.

I've been running:
7 Island
3 Swamp
2 Reflecting Pool
4 Secluded Glen
4 Sunken Ruins
4 Mutavault
2 Sower of Temptation
3 Vendilion Clique
4 Spellstutter Sprite
4 Scion of Oona
4 Mistbind Clique
4 Broken Ambitions
3 Peppersmoke
4 Nameless Inversion
4 Cryptic Command
4 Bitterblossom
as a maindeck, and haven't looked back. Shriekmaw is too costly for a deck as quick as faeries, and there's not a lot of synergy. I like Clique over Pupeteer, since it beats harder and acts as disruption, and I'd play Bitterblossom over Dream Fracture any day, after all, let's face it, T2 Faeries got to where it got because of turn 1 Ancestral Vision followed by turn 2 Bitterblossom, and I see no reason as to not keep the play you CAN use in block, of those two.

Ya, Nameless is probably better removal than Shriekmaw. And I added some Bitterblossoms. But I'm still not sold on Vendillion Clique, I'd prefer Thoughtseize over it (which I'm trying to fit in the deck, BTW).

I pack Thoughtseize in the sideboard. I like Vendilion better maindeck because:
a) Saves me life I'd lose to Thoughtseize, and I already lose a bunch to Bitterblossom;
b) Disrupts my opponent in a "similar" way, by taking out a troublesome card from their hand;
c) It's a 3/1 beater with flying, probably more due to Scion of Oona, speeding up the clock (you can't drag the game too long due to Bitterblossom);
d) It trades with some annoying creatures.
But Clique is not a 100% thing, some people use it, some don't. I like it.

Eh...I'm not a big fan of it. Being legendary makes it maybe a one-of IMO, but not here, where I'm already trying to squeeze to much stuff in lol.
