Deck overview

This Azorius deck pairs Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Akroma, Vision of Ixidor to execute an aggressive, evasive flying tribal strategy. In the early game, the deck deploys low-cost fliers, mana rocks, and utility engines while casting Ishai on Turn 3 or 4. As opponents cast spells, Ishai scales into a formidable threat. The mid-to-late game focuses on resolving anthem effects and high-impact keyword enablers, culminating in casting Akroma on Turn 6. Akroma's combat trigger grants massive stat boosts to Ishai and the flying squad based on shared keywords like flying, vigilance, first strike, and partner. The deck protects its board state using cards like Selfless Spirit and Guardian of Faith, and recovers from sweepers via reanimation engines including Sun Titan, Serra Paragon, and Karmic Guide. It closes games through overwhelming aerial combat damage.
