Deck Challenge: Birds Of Paradise Only

So one of my Tournament Playing friends gave me a challenge, To make a deck that not only contains no creatures other than Birds Of Paradise, but also that it kill only with Combat Damage. I tried, but i want to see how others would do this. Mine Attempt: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=375960

For the Record, Vintage.

I am not sure if this is breaking the rules due to using Infect to modify the birds' combat damage, but here is my take.

I said combat damage didn't i? Infect just modifies that, so i call that a Successful build. Yours would kill just as quickly as mine i think, and would piss someone off even more doing it because of all your Shroud abilities. I did my best with it to fix the Mana Curve and give me more than the 4 BoP at the same time...So i figured lots of birds would fix the mana, and with Coat Of Arms, they would be deadly.

I love it when things are this limited, it makes you really think around corners and come up with something new. The guy who made the challenge to me, also gave it to another friend of mine, This is his answer, Totally different from either of ours, but still successful i feel. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=375956

You did a Good Job...I hope others can get this creative too.

Not Bad! It may struggle a little bit to get a big enough amount of damage, and it will only really be useful when Spirit Mantle is in play, but it will help a lot more when you play Triumph of the Hordes.

Not great, but then again, its really not an easy challenge in the first place and i figure anybody who could get the job done at all is impressive. :)
