Deck overview

This Azorius deck executes an evasive Skies combat strategy led by Isperia, Supreme Judge. It establishes early board presence using low-cost flying creatures, supported by mana rocks and defensive deterrents. The deck uses forced-combat effects like Bident of Thassa and Angler Turtle alongside Isperia, Supreme Judge to dissuade incoming attacks and generate steady card draw. Once a critical mass of flyers is established, the deck transitions into lethal pressure by deploying powerful aerial anthems such as Gravitational Shift, True Conviction, and Steel-Plume Marshal. These multipliers allow the evasive squad to deal 20 or more damage per swing, closing out games through combat over multiple turns. The list relies on functional redundancy rather than tutors, giving it consistent access to creatures and buffs while lacking burst speed. A robust package of spot removal, sweepers, and countermagic provides baseline interaction, though high-cost aerial threats demand careful mana management.
