My first attempt to branch out into the non-battlecruiser world.

The ETB_One category relies upon playing Ruby Medallion then Sluggishness on one of Kykar's bird tokens. You sac the bird, get a red mana, enchantment goes back to your hand. Play enchantment, another bird comes into play. (NOTE: You need two birds to start it off) Pairs with Impact Tremorsfoil (finishers that require you to sac birds for mana don't work for the other 'ETB Finisher' cards).

ETB_Two relies upon Spellbook and Jeskai Ascendancy being in play and Retraction Helix on one of your creatures. Tap creature, return 0 CMC artifact, play 0 CMC artifact, untap creature and get a new bird token. Rinse and repeat. Pairs with Goblin Bombardment or Impact Tremorsfoil.

ETB_Three relies upon recasting Dramatic Reversal with Isochron Scepter an unlimited amount of times for infinite birds. (Mana rocks like Sol Ring, Fellwar Stone or Commander's Sphere are necessary here) Finishers are Goblin Bombardment or Impact Tremorsfoil.

Fourth 'Win-con': Summon massive amounts of birds using any of the previous three methods. Wait a turn. SWING! (Optional: Watch your buddies panic-search for board wipes around turn 4)

Draw relies upon using Sensei's Divining Top to draw a card (without re-ordering the top three first!), then using Future Sight or Magus of the Future to play it back with a mountain mana from sac'ing a bird token (you'll get another once you play the top again). Rinse and repeat. Pairs with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries or Psychic Corrosion. NOTE: Casting Divergent Transformations on two birds will always net you Magus of the Future and Trinket Mage -> Sensei's Divining Top)
