Birds and friends!

Lots of great synergies with all the tribal-buffing cards. Don't forget that some affect your enemies, too, like Gravitational Shift, Serra Aviary , and the bonus from your opponent's birds from Airborne Aid. I might take out Dovescape because it's more oppressive than fun.

Make it more budget by cutting Mutavault, Celestial Colonnade, and Flooded Strand - I included these because I have them, but they're the bulk of the deck cost. Also don't forget that Mutavault is a bird!

Side note - infect is really strong in this deck, as it can very easily be a lethal swing just once. Also, Thrummingbird does mad work pumping feather counters, +1/+1 counters, and charge counters on Door of Destinies. Also, Aven Mimeomancer 's feather counters work with Kangee.

I plan on replacing cards in the deck with maybeboard cards once I obtain them. Cards like Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile are high on that list. I might also play with the creature density of the deck a little bit after more playtesting, and I might need to do the same with the land density.

Please give me recommendations on cards! Especially non-bird cards with birds in the artwork - those can be really awesome.
