Aggro

This deck is a very aggressive good bo1 grinder with the ability to surprise win with flying lords and Rally of Wingsimage. I have had more success tuning this list to be very aggressive. Sphinx of Foresightimage is amazing in starting hand in an aggro deck smoothing out land draws and big payoffs. The goal is to dump creatures on the board then Favorable Windsimage, Empyrean Eagleimage, or Rally of Wingsimage.

 

If you like the deck, here is a modern version: https://aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/29056

 

Post Rotation Siren Stormtamerimage will have to be replaced by a new 1 drop and Storm Fleet Aerialistimage and Warkite Marauderimage can be replaced with Nightveil Spriteimage, Tomik, Distinguished Advokistimage or a new 2/1 flyer. Tomik can be difficult to cast and would stay away from more than 2 copies in an aggro deck since multiples really hurt you. Resplendent Angelimage or Sephara, Sky's Bladeimage would be appropriate substitutes. Glacial Fortressimage can be replaced with Temple of Enlightenmentimage but the entering tapped clause is very bad in an aggro deck. May want to play more basics and mulligan / rely on Sphinx of Foresightimage more.

 

Breakdown:

16 1-drop flyers Spectral Sailorimage, Healer's Hawkimage, Siren Stormtamerimage, Faerie Miscreantimage

6 2-drop flyers Warkite Marauderimage, Storm Fleet Aerialistimage

12 Flying Matters Cards Empyrean Eagleimage, Favorable Windsimage, Rally of Wingsimage

1 Mu Yangling, Sky Dancer

4 Sphinx of Foresightimage for big boy and scry 3 on first upkeep

21 Lands Hallowed Fountainimage, Glacial Fortressimage

 

Sideboard:

Board Wipe Protection Spell Pierceimage, Sephara, Sky's Bladeimage

Red Protection Cerulean Drakeimage

Interaction / Lifegain Depose // Deploy

Removal Conclave Tribunalimage

Grinding Mu Yanling, Sky Dancerimage

 

Cards to Consider:

Angel of Graceimage and Cavalier of Galesimage in a more midrange slower style

Dungeon Geistsimage and Hanged Executionerimage. Prefer Dungeon Geists myself

Resplendent Angelimage is a solid 3 drop with upside late game. Tad too slow in current build

Bounce Spells such as Unsummonimage and Blink of an Eyeimage

Stronger Counterspells Negateimage, Essence Scatterimage, Dovin's Vetoimage, Spell Pierceimage is mainboardable but I wouldn't slow down the deck with 2cmc+ counterspells except maybe in the sideboard or in a slower build.
