Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Azorius Bird typal strategy led by Kastral, the Windcrested. It curves out with efficient, evasive low-drop fliers on turns 1 through 3, then casts Kastral on turn 4 or 5 to begin converting combat damage into steady card advantage, team-wide buffs, or reanimation. Once established, the deck scales its flying board with powerful lords such as Aven Brigadier and Steel-Plume Marshal or global enchantments like Cathars' Crusade, creating an overwhelming aerial assault that closes the game around turn 8. Defensive tools like Dawn's Truce, Unbreakable Formation, and efficient counterspells protect the flock from sweepers, while Magus of the Moat and Raise the Palisade invalidate opposing ground forces.
