Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
This deck is intended for first-time players. To make a beginner friendly deck I decide to keep the deck extra simple, so that the new player can focus on getting to know the rules, tactics and understanding what's going on.
White and blue have access to the highest number of flying creatures of all colours and I wanted tried to put together an easy to play, yet aggressive deck, concentrating on flyers.

[u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]
Mass-strengthening-effects (+x/+x to all creatures) and cards with multiple effects are not allowed. Lands are limited to Common's and Uncommon's, no Rare's or Mythic's. Other cards are limited to Common's, Uncommon's and 1 Rare (max. 4 copies) per deck, no Mythic's.
The overall budget should be between 15 to 20$. (Estimated mid value).

[u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements[/u]
This deck is bound to a general strategy, named "Fyling", where you try to bypass your opponents defence with, more or less powerful, flying creatures.
As this is a general strategy, in opposite to concentrating on a certain keyword or tribe, it should be easy to improve the cards uses in this deck and to keep the deck up to date. New editions will often contain cards that can be fitted into this deck.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other beginner decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

The overall strategy of this deck is to put pressure on your opponent fast with many small, flying creatures, he probably can't handle.

The deck has enough control or removal spells to keep your opponents larger threats at bay, while you let your army fly over his defence and hit him.
[[Skycat Sovereign]] is your finisher. It gets stronger with every flying creature you have on the battlefield and only costs {2} mana!
