Andramalech on Balaam__

Balaam__ after much deliberation, I think I've found some cards I would want to "collaborate" in the way you described:

  1. Ghost Ship
  2. Brimstone Dragon
  3. Drudge Spell
  4. Didgeridoo
  5. Mystic Decree
  6. Soraya the Falconer
  7. Willow Priestess
  8. Altar of Bone
  9. Chaos Moon
  10. Curse of Marit Lage
  11. Elemental Augury
  12. Forgotten Lore
  13. Game of Chaos
  14. Illusionary Terrain
  15. Kjeldoran Escort

It was so hard to wittle my list down to only 15 choices but I wanted to pick stuff from a large timespan; I know how you favor older, more flavorful cards!

Throughout the list you'll see things from throughout Homelands, Ice Age, and the like.

Admittedly some were not as strong picks as others in terms of building, but each one I chose for a bit of flavor, and a bit of "hey this card never gets love".

I hope these seem like appealing choices because I think each has a little "fringe-casual-upset-win-at-the-kitchen-table" kinda vibe.

I appreciate the opportunity again and can't wait to hear back from you!

DreadKhan on Belligerent Birds

Airborne Aid cares about birds, everyone's birds/changelings even, as does Soraya the Falconer, but you've probably got enough coolness points off of OG Kangee. Unsettled Mariner would be a handy effect I expect. You could try Dovescape, it's very 'bird-centric', and you can have pretty beefy birds in the air compared to their 1/1s. Dovescape can also combo with some cards, I use it with Malevolent Hermit  Flip Disturbed to get free Doves whenever I cast a relevant spell, while everyone else has everything countered, there are other combos that might be better in your metas, like infinite birds via Guile.

Sweet deck, lots of love for an old border Commander!

A bird deck? Without Storm Crow? Outrageous. Blasphemy. Perfidious.

Allow the birbs to enlighten you.

Step One: Power and Glory

Aven Brigadier. Look straight into its eyes and see the fate that shall beset your foes. This is power. This is glory.

Step Two: True beauty

Swords to Plowshares. But get out of here with that squalid artwork. Ice Age gives us this beauty.

Step Three: Invoking fear

Aerial Assault. This is when you start playing Alfred Hitchcock's greatest film in the background. This instills fear.

Step Four: Round it all out

We have power, glory, beauty, fear, and an instant-win button. What is next? That is correct. Bird seeds. This is why I hired Soraya to disseminate them. She even gives opponents headaches with her activated ability.

Step Five: The purge

We need to empty out all of these bad cards from the list to make room for the mountain of birds coming in. Nexus of Fate is unplayable, Sensei's Top is questionable, and Sol Ring is useless. Try Aven Warhawk, Dragonstalker, and Carrier Pigeons. These are startlingly efficient flyers that almost do something sometimes.

Step Six: Commander falsehoods

Ramp never gets you anywhere. It adds no power to the board, cards to the hand, or birds to the game. The only two acceptable mana rocks are Seashell Cameo and Azorius Keyrune. They leastwise mention birds.

Step Seven: Cat birds

You must have both Skycat Sovereign and Pride of the Clouds. This is crucial. Cats are birbs, too.

Step Eight: Question my sanity

If you glue feathers to something, it is basically a bird. Why don't people know that Ragavan is a bird?! Heathens.

Step Nine: Profit maybe

Cast your Mimeomancers and Suntail Hawks, and cobble them together with a Keeper of the Nine Gales. May your feathery flight bring the greatest adventure, nevermore.

Step Ten: Good bye

Good bye.

Caerwyn on Legendary Falcon Lord??

Soraya the Falconer has received errata so her rules text properly refers to "Birds" instead of "Falcons". That would be why your Scryfall search failed.

Idoneity on Bird is the Word

I would just like to note, the artwork of a bird deck is very important.

Instead of basics from Dominaria, the Plains from Mirage have birds in the art: Plains

As for Swords to Plowshares , I'd recommend the Ice Age printing: Swords to Plowshares .

It's a crime to not run Soraya the Falconer . She is of the uttermost bird-kind.

Aerial Assault , Howling Mine , and Disenchant all have birds in the art and are some of the better options.

Kirtar's Wrath is an on-theme, bird wrath. In regards, Lieutenant Kirtar , Commander Eesha , and Major Teroh are each birb necessities. They were at the behest of The Order on Otaria, Dominaria.

For an actual suggestion, Abolish is an underrated card with much application. But you must further your bird-game. Make haste!
