Flavuss no worries, glad to help! Feel free to tag me in any future brew you’re wanting feedback for.

One note on Joraga Warcaller, is he’s a very glass-cannon card. If your opponent is holding up any mana as you attack, they can just kill/bounce him before blocks and suddenly you’re army is caught with their pants down. Not to say he isn’t incredably powerful, just that he requires some very careful piloting. He works well alongside any creature that can redirect targets (Spellskite), or any creature that can grant him protection (Giver of Runes, Selfless Savior, Selfless Spirit).

Looks very cool! I would suggest some (additional) fliers that restrict your opposition's options. Siren Stormtamer is a nice creature; nobody likes to target you or your permanents with spells if they know up-front that spell is not going to work. Aven Mindcensor is also extremely useful to stop opposing tutoring in its tracks. Selfless Spirit is great to protect your army from a wipe. Finally, Archetype of Imagination destroys the flying capacity of all opposing creatures, making you the uncontested master of the skies!

Good luck with this brew. In case you need other inspiration, I am running flying tribal under Shabraz, the Skyshark. You can find it here:

After the first months purchase of upgrades it's already getting a little hard to know what to cut. I have tried to up the number of creatures that produce flying tokens and improve the ramp, but this has come at a cost to the interaction.

I figure if I can block in the early turns and ramp as well as I intend to, some of the token producers can be used as mana sinks later on. Cutting cards like Absorb does mean I'm weak to wraths but my plan in a future month is to buy an Emeria, The Sky Ruin so I can keep recurring Selfless Spirit as Wrath protection.

Thank you for the feedback Gadianten, much appreciated!

I use the maybeboard as a list of cards I've considered at some point and don't want to forget about for the sake of future updates. So the cards listed there are most often cards I do not own, hence the "Expensive" category - those are cards I would most definitely run if it wasn't for their price tag. Right now this deck is powerful enough for my game group so I'm not too keen to spend much money on needlessly powerful stuff.

That being said, I might just try Moon-Blessed Cleric now that you mention it. It'll be more fun for everyone if I don't take forever to find my win-cons when in dominating position.

Unspeakable Symbol looks amazing! I love niche cards and having agency outside of my turn. This card is just perfect.

Lastly for the new considerations: I admit that Selfless Spirit and Speaker of the Heavens are great. I personally find them a tad boring though, so I'll just add them to my mess of a maybeboard for now. :D I don't like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed because so many of my clerics are humans and I just don't want to have to think about which are and which are not. I've run Pontiff of Blight for a tiny bit but never really used it in-game. I will give him another chance since our meta is not super fast.

You have a good start having a plan that plays to the tribes strengths and is not just a tribal mishmash, it is even on theme for clerics.

Maybeboard: There are a few creatures that should be taken off the maybe board like Moon-Blessed Cleric for tutoring powerful enchantments. You have some straight up more powerful lifegain creatures like Righteous Valkyrie and Soul's Attendant sitting on the sideline, these should be main decked immediately. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is amazingly powerful and especially deadly with your commander out, he does it all, card draw, removal and sacrifice outlet. Rotlung Reanimator pairs very well with your commander I think, rewarding you even more for sacrifice and even though the tokens are zombies they do provide attackers, blockers and sacrifice fodder for some abilities.

Unspeakable Symbol is an excellent redundancy to go along with Vizkopa Confessor for adding a little more resilience to the win condition. This card also has some more subtle effects making it very interesting for multiplayer as it can target an opponent's creatures, letting you change combats and can be used for political favors.

Some new considerations: Selfless Spirit fits in very well with your commander and is easy to reoccur adding some real resilience to your clerics. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is obscene with your commander and in tribe as well. Speaker of the Heavens is not a major add but thought I would mention him as a decent token generator for your fleet. Pontiff of Blight is a decent cleric that can help grind out long games by transforming spells into burn spells with multiple extort triggers on cast, the amount of damage and lifegain over time is no joke.

wallisface on Squadron Hawk in Modern?

3 months ago

A loooong time ago I had a deck that utilised Squadron Hawk to ramp up counters on Quest for the Holy Relic. The wincon was then to use that Relic to slap Worldslayer on one of the birds, and with the help of something like Selfless Spirit, keep my own creatures alive while wiping everything else, and edge out a win through a few turns of combat damage before the opponent can find lands and rebuild a board.

That deck also had the old infinite mana combo with Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies, with Duskwatch Recruiter  Flip then acting as a solid game piece to further both potential wincons. The deck would often go infinite and win on turn 3, or else worldslay everything turn 4.

Saying all this, the meta has shifted considerably since I was running this deck, and i’m not sure such a combo brew would be viable in such a high-interaction meta these days. But I can say that, at the time, Squadron Hawk was great for all of fueling the combo, buying me time with expendable blockers, and thinning the deck in a way that felt meaningful.

Body Launderer is a good budget creature for repeatable loot (connive) as well as creature reanimation. It's reanimation can be a combo to loot as much of your hand/library as you want.

If you add Zulaport Cutthroat or another aristocrat like it then you make all your opponents lose life equal to the amount of cards in your library.

This is a wincon all creature combo that Nethroi can reanimate it all. Artist has 0 power too, but any other aristocrat like it could replace it. Nethroi can reanimate all of it including more such as Selfless Spirit or Dauntless Escort for some combo protection for Artist and Seer.
