Deck Description

Updating my favorite Commander Deck: Birds

wHen I built this deck I wanted to build a ridiculous Tribal deck. It came down to Atogs, Birds and walls. Walls it turns out can build a pretty decent deck, Atogs really just can't work as a workable deck (if you build it, let me know), and Birds are hilarious.

Between the puns that get thrown around the table, the ridiculous cards like Storm Crow and Zodiac Rooster (He is the only bird Plainswalker), and hijinx of cards like Dovescape and Parallel Lives, this deck is just meant to be fun.

How to Play

The premise of this deck is to summon birds. Then summon more birds. Eventually conjure enough avian nightmares to blot out the sun in the sky.

This deck is completely designed for laughs. It has never won. It one time had good board position for a turn. The deck has the elements to actually go off, and get pretty epic, but it has no way to protect itself from a table full of bird hate.

Update. This Deck Has Won A Game. It Was Marvelous.

A mistake because I am not all that bright. Corrected.

Agreed. I missed it while typing in the card list and could not figure out what card I missed so I added the wrong one. I assure you, all the souls will be caught.

That is not a bird, don't let it fool you. I appreciate the suggestion, but this deck is more for the flavor. There are a few decent tribal cards that i decided to forgo.

Sorry jester, I can't help you out too much with this one due to the fact that you are sticking to your guns about being all bird - ish with your deck. Oh yeah there are angels that look like birds, this deck is too spicy for the pepper, that's all I got.
