Hello again everyone,

The idea for the deck came when I saw Ben Wheeler's clay pigeon deck. I've made pretty hefty modifications to make it my own and am happy with how it turned out so far. Always happy for more suggestions.

I wanted to make a deck that worked by giving people's creatures flying, and then using that against them. So long as I do that in a game, it's been a win. So far it's been a blast to play.

The North American Field Guide to Shitty Birds

This is the combo that started the deck!

Turn all your opponents' creatures into pigeons and then shoot them down.

Look. Let's be honest. Y'all don't need a field guide to explain the concept here, it's not rocket science. But here are a few of my favorite things the deck gets to do:

Kill many creatures with flying hate cards. Could we be using OP cards like Crossbow Infantry instead? Yes. Will we? No. Because this deck isn't meant to be easy, it's meant to win through confusion just like the rest of my shitty brews. Plus! We get to play this stuff!

And at the end of the day, if you can't win with Grapeshot Catapult sneaking in under Bower's Passageway, are you really winning?

Thanks for reading and feel free to ask any questions or give any feedback.
