Deck Description

I noticed there was a new legendary bird called hakka whispering raven in the new Kaldheim set, so I decided to build a pioneer bird tribal deck.

The goal is to tempo hard into a large amount of birds on the board and then overwhelm my opponent with unblockable flyers - except spirits, which are a much more synergistic deck than birds.

Win Condition: 7 cards

Wingmate Roc and Yorion, Sky Nomad are the birds that I am trying to ramp into because Wingmate Roc gives me 6 power on the board and Yorion can flicker Wingmate Roc to generate another 3/4 tokeen.

Tempo: 18 cards

Warden of Evos Isle & Watcher of the Spheres make my birds cost less, Gilded Goose gives me mana ramp, Realmwalker helps me cast birds from the top of my library, and Hakka whispering helps me filter my draws by scrying 2 every time it deals combat damage to a player.

Lords: 7 cards

Empyrean Eagle and Rally the Ranks act as lords to power up my birds.

Removal: 4 cards

Lofty Denial acts as the perfect removal spell because it counters almost every spell if i have a flyer on the board.

Total spells: 36

Total Lands 24

Total cards: 60

Please note that I am using basic lands as a placeholder because I have to work out the land symbol ratios, so more on that to come.

In paper I Always aim for 12 sources that can produce each mana.
That means
4 wu dual
4 wg dual
4 ug dual
4 plains
4 island
4 forest

Your sideboard will need to deal with white aggro, red aggro and you will need to deal with combo and control, most likely by using counterspells.
