Lore: Akim was orphaned as a hatch-ling and a flock of birds took him in and raised him as one of their own. Once Akim grew large enough he assumed the role of flock leader protecting his tribe and proactively assaults anything that would harm his flying friends and family.

This deck is all about flying creatures and creature tokens using win conditions like devout invocation or activating akim's double strike ability with a critical mass of tokens in play. Since almost all of the creatures in this deck have flying combat shouldn't be a large issue unless playing against dragons, angels, and demons (Kalia's Friends.) There are a few non flying creature tokens that are incidentally made but there are very few of them. I really wanted the deck to be flavorful from a lore perspective for Akim but as long as they fly Akim will treat them as one of his flock.

This deck is also more budget friendly. A few cards like elesh norn and anointed procession are expensive but considering I could have included cyclonic rift currently at $35 dollars, fierce guardianship $32, land tax $35, and ect... so I felt I did pretty good. You can easily up the price of this deck and add more competitive cards and faster mana.
