Flying Tribal by TheRaayz

Format: Commander

Commander: Donal, Herald of Wings

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-blue tempo-control deck is led by Donal, Herald of Wings, which doubles the first nonlegendary flying creature spell cast each turn by creating a 1/1 Spirit token copy. The primary strategy focuses on assembling a resilient, evasive airborne army while extracting massive value from enters-the-battlefield abilities and combat-damage card draw. You control the board using efficient counterspells and bounce sweepers like Cyclonic Rift and Aetherize. While you can win via an infinite mana and bounce loop utilizing Cloudstone Curio, Peregrine Drake, and Donal, the deck most often overwhelms the table through relentless aerial combat bolstered by anthem effects like Gravitational Shift.
