This is a budgeted version of the original caw blade deck.

The Kaldra thing might seem dumb but I think it would be kind of funny to have an indestructible bird with trample, haste, and first strike. Then you can through in a +5/+5 buff and if you equip everything you get a 9/9 token with trample, haste, first strike, and indestructible.

A part of the budgeting was trying to get the price below $328. (the price for a playset of Jace, the Mind Sculptor as of 9/8/2018) I really like making budget decks below $50 so doing this puts me a little bit out of my comfort zone and I have made some decks over $50 but they are nothing that special and I just love to play them even if the price tag is asking a lot of me. But with this deck, I decided to splurge and put one Jace, the Mind Sculptor into the list. I have ways to get it onto the field and using Call the Gatewatch and with the use of deck cycling spells in the list, it should be relatively easy to get. No caw blade deck is ever complete without the use of Squadron Hawk, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, and Stoneforge Mystic but I said no to Stone Forge mystic because A it is banned and B it is around $36 a copy (9/8/18) so I decided to play Trophy Mage. I am playing Trophy Mage because she is very heavily discounted Stoneforge Mystic and she can get either sword into your hand. Squadron Hawk is just so cheap he is fine and just an all-around great card through the lens of the deck maximizing the potential of a 1/1 flier for .
