BMoor's Magic The
Gathering
Deck Garage
Today's deck list comes to us from my most common client, Anonymous. Sadly, he/she not only left off a name, but any other information at all save the cards in his/her deck. I know I never actually said this outright, but you make my job easier when you include a lot of information about your deck. The more I know about your playing style, your favorite cards, what sort of cards you can/can't obtain, what your ultimate goal for the deck is, et cetera, the better I can fix your deck. But I'll do my best with what I've got to work with.
18 land:
Okay, this deck revolves around Birds, I know that much. There's Seaside Haven, Soulcatcher (listed under creatures and under non-creatures, so I'll assume that the one under non-creatures refers in fact to Soulcatchers' Aerie), Battle Screech, and Shared Triumph all promoting the "we love birds" theme.
Upon looking up each card, I found them all to be Birds as well. Skyshroud Falcon, I noticed, is functionally identical to Courier Hawk except for one less toughness, so I was going to suggest replacing the Falcon with the Hawk until I saw four Courier Hawk already in the deck. Then I saw Zephyr Falcon, which is exactly Skyshroud Falcon except blue. I had to wonder why there were so many sub-par Birds in this deck, until I saw Static Orb and realized the strategy-- stop the opponent from untapping while your own Vigilant creatures never need to tap in the first place. Once again, if Anonymous had written something more than just a decklist, I might have figured that out already. So Static Orb and all the little Vigilant ducklings can stay.
Now, most (well, all) of these Birds are 1/
![]()
Another modification; if Static Orb grows too oppressive for you and not fun enough for people to want to play with you, consider replacing it with Dovescape. Dovescape will stop most spells and create a lot of Birds, which is all the better for you. Of course, giving your opponent access to Birds may be a mistake, especially since all your tribal enablers all say "all Birds", not "Birds you control". But of course, Dovescape won't stop Pride of the Clouds, so it's something to think about at least.
That's all I've got as far as specific ideas go, but I'll wrap up this article with some suggestions for cards that really spread their wings when the skies are full of Birds.
~Airborne Aid
~Kangee, Aerie Keeper
~Soraya the Falconer
~Keeper of the Nine Gales
~Crookclaw Elder
Until next time, good luck and don't look straight up.
