This is an existing mid-tier deck of mine designed to deal with the heavy flyer streak in our meta. It was initially called "Falling with Style" but renamed, given it's strong anti-flyer defense. With Raking Canopy and the early-game Deadly Recluse, fliers are unlikely to attack. Additionally, Jump and other cards can give an opponent's attacking creatures flying, sending them hurtling into the canopy. I've found that the deck is a little slow to get anywhere and seems to lack a solid finisher. I'm experimenting with Sagu Mauler but it's not been that effective.
