I'd replace Menace with Flying. Off the top of my head, High Sentinels of Arashin, Abzan Skycaptain, Aven Tactician and Watcher of the Roost all symbolize how Aven are a part of the Abzan/Dromoka clan. As for Menace... other than it's a Black-Oriented ability... doesn't seem to fit.

Thanks for vote pieguy396.

There isn't any room for Hardened Scales. Salt Road Ambushers and Trail of Mystery fill the role of what hardened scales does. Evolving Wilds is perfectly fine here. It thins my deck, searches for the color I need and enables Canopy Vista. Seems good to me. Watcher of the Roost is also a fine card. It gains life, evades and flips itself up for free, which is very relevant with cards like Mastery of the Unseen, Trail of Mystery and Salt Road Ambushers. The card may be weak individually but collectively it is very strong especially in a race. I can't afford DMR. The life gain from Lightform isn't appealing enough for me to add it to the list. I have plenty of ways to gain life and I'd rather play a morph creature. As for Stasis Snare I would add it if it didn't have double mana requirements. But once again not necessary. Between Suspension Field, Silkwrap, Surge of Righteousness, Celestial Flare, and Hidden Dragonslayer I can kill pretty much everything relevant in the meta. I've been playing this list since the beginning of BFZ. It's very strong for what it's worth. You should give it a try.

What about Hardened Scales? Most of your morphs are megamorphs, so they all get an extra counter! Also, Evolving Wilds isn't that strong in a 2-color deck, swap them out with Blossoming Sands, since I'm assuming you can't afford fetches. Also, I get that there aren't that many 3-drop morph cards available to you, but Watcher of the Roost really isn't that good of a card. If this deck wasn't budget, I'd suggest Deathmist Raptors, but...I dunno...Lightform? Stasis Snare? Your pick, I guess.+1
