Casting at instant speed

Give your sorceries and creatures flash, or hold everything until their end step. Playing at instant speed is the cheapest way to make a deck harder to answer.

Edit it and search again — it reads plain English, so cast spells at instant speed on other turns under 3 mana works too.
