Maybe you could replicate a bunch of tokens (in EDH?) and then play them from exile ...in EDH ...somehow ...for some reason ...
Sweet art.

"Put a 3/3 blue Weird token with defender, flying, and teeth into play. At end of turn, it develops gingivitis."

It's a 3 cost instant that blocks most flying attacks, or a 6 cost instant that kills most flying attacks. I probably wouldn't want it unless I could be sure my deck was good at Replicating it, but if you can get it Replicated quickly, then it's actually not bad at all. It's definitely defensive, not offensive. If you really want flying attackers, just play Delver of Secrets- by far the best option for Blue, possibly second only to Squadron Hawk in the game for Air Aggression. Not counting the things that make Emrakul more playable than she has any right to be. :P

This is something of a spiritual successor to Tidal Wave, offering 3 power and toughness worth of blocker with flying, for the same cost as that card's 5/5. Paired with the Izzet mechanic Replicate, you can suddenly turn the tables on an opponent's alpha strike by blocking and perhaps killing their forces, if you've got the mana. An excellent card, especially in Limited, where it kills everything from Boros Swiftblade to Watchwolf and blocking with 2 weirds, even the mighty Rakdos the Defiler. Do not sleep on this card as a defensive tool.

@exterion: The nice thing about this card is the sudden damage to the attackers, of course. It's basically an X burn spell that's limited to attacking creatures and has to be paid in multiples of three; but it also makes the attackers blocked.
In a color that has few ways to damage creatures, variable flash is a decent way around it.

Tricky combat trick is tricky. Replicate is cool, wish there was more. Why not make it rare and have the tokens stick around though? Rather just run a fog, mass bounce ala cyclonic rift or evacuate. Or a creature with flash.
Bonus points if you do this then exile the tokens with curse of the swine. Because awkward blue tokens.
