A deck featuring many flying beaters, with some cards for utility, people at my store jokingly call it Mono Bird Agro.

Ornithopter is here to evolve Cloudfin Raptor, let me get Illusory Angel out on turn 3, and to let me use Military Intelligence early. Also, it is a great target for Hour of Need.

Hour of Need is this deck's finisher, and it lets me do something with all the excess mana I may draw.
also, It's a very good defensive combat trick as well, since I can sacrifice tapped creatures to make untapped sphinxes to block, then I can swing with them on my turn.

Military Intelligence provides me a card almost every turn, which keeps me from relying on topdecking what I need.

The cypher cards work great here, with Hands of Binding controlling the opponent's board, and Hidden Strings for ramp, tapping down blockers, or to play Illusory Angel on turn 3.
also, triggering cypher by hitting someone counts as casting a spell for Illusory Angel, so you can swing, then summon her main phase 2.
