Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white aggro-stax strategy centered on Momo, Friendly Flier and a flock of 16 Tempest Hawks. Momo lands on Turn 1 to reduce the casting cost of subsequent flying creatures by {1}. This enables a Turn 2 Tempest Hawk that attacks on Turn 3, dealing combat damage to search up another copy and chain a continuous swarm of evasive threats. The deck breaks parity on combat-restricting stax effects like Magus of the Moat, Ghostly Prison, and Windborn Muse, completely shutting down ground-based aggression while flying overhead. Once a critical mass of birds is assembled, team-wide multipliers such as Coat of Arms, Cathars' Crusade, Mirror Entity, and Akroma's Will turn small 2/2 attackers into game-ending flying damage. Targeted removal and board protection like Galadriel's Dismissal safeguard the army as it systematically closes out the table.
