Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius Skies tribal strategy led by Errant and Giada. The deck curves low-cost flying creatures into its commander to generate sustained virtual card advantage by casting spells with flying and flash directly off the top of the library. It builds an evasive aerial army, using cost-reducers like Watcher of the Spheres and Warden of Evos Isle to accelerate deployment. Once a critical mass of flyers is established, anthems such as Empyrean Eagle, Kangee, Sky Warden, and True Conviction turn chip damage into a decisive clock that flies over ground blockers. The deck supports this aggressive core with classic Azorius interaction, featuring efficient countermagic, targeted exile spells, and combat disruptors like Aetherize and Restore the Peace. While vulnerable to sweepers, it leverages Sephara, Sky's Blade and reanimation spells to maintain pressure and close games.
