Commander deck for my gf Violet. The idea here is to overwhelm your opponent with flying bird tokens. Cathars' Crusade, Gravitational Shift, and Coat of Arms are powerful token buffers. Rhys the Redeemed, Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives can double creature tokens.

Reconnaissance Mission, Airborne Aid, Curiosity Crafter, Edric, Spymaster of Trest, Shanna, Purifying Blade for heavy card draw

Dovescape and Alrund's Epiphany can be game enders
