Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius flying-tribal aggro-control deck commanded by Inniaz, the Gale Force. It focuses on deploying low-cost evasive creatures during the opening turns, establishing cost reducers and mana rocks, and casting Inniaz to unlock continuous board disruption. Whenever three or more flying creatures attack, Inniaz triggers a rotational exchange of nonland permanents, allowing you to donate minor tokens or tapped artifacts while taking control of the strongest threats, blockers, or engine pieces on the table. The deck bolsters its evasive swarm with multiple static anthem effects like Empyrean Eagle and Favorable Winds, turning small flyers into a formidable combat clock. Card draw engines such as Reconnaissance Mission keep hand sizes full, while targeting taxes from Jubilant Skybonder and countermagic shield key permanents. It closes out games through overwhelming evasive combat damage while systematically disassembling opposing boards.
