Eyes' to the Skies 2. by FatedHour2710
Format: Commander
Commander: Kastral, the Windcrested
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
This is a Kastral, the Windcrested Bird tribal deck built around swarming the battlefield with evasive fliers and leveraging the commander's combat-damage trigger for card advantage, reanimation, or pumping the team. The primary game plan is to deploy cheap cost reducers for flying creatures, generate a wide board of Bird tokens through spells like Battle Screech and Migratory Route, then attack relentlessly while multiple anthem effects (Empyrean Eagle, Steel-Plume Marshal, Favorable Winds) turn the flock into a lethal clock. The deck has no infinite combos; it wins through incremental combat damage, commander damage from Kastral, or the alternate win condition Strixhaven Stadium. A strong recursion package with Jackdaw Savior and Celestial Gatekeeper ensures the board comes back after wipes.
