Dovin, Grand Arbiter - Brawl Primer

Dovin's +1 ability allows him to stack up a lot of loyalty by attacking with a bunch of small fliers. His minus ability creates a Thopter with flying and incidentally gains a life. Additionally, WU has access to some of the best removal and control spells in the format at this time.

Divine Visitation works well with Dovin's -1 ability and combos with Bishop of Wings . Bishop is fine on it's own, however Sephara, Sky's Blade seems like a prime candidate for a wincon as well.

Empyrean Eagle is an obvious pickup to help your thopter tokens, as well as Windstorm Drake and Spirit of the Spires .

Flying men: Healer's Hawk and Loyal Pegasus if we want to be aggressive. Pteramander and Spectral Sailor if we're feeling more controlling.

Value fliers: Angel of Vitality which will oftentimes be a 4/4 flying for 3 and help your -1 as well as any other incedental lifegain cards. Warden of Evos Isle helps get your higher cost fliers out faster. Cloudkin Seer and Elite Guildmage are fliers that cantrip. Dungeon Geists and Hanged Executioner are fliers that come with removal. God-Eternal Kefnet is a massive flier for its low cost and comes with a significant upside of being unkillable. Rescuer Sphinx , Sphinx of Forseight, and Sphinx of New Prav are above curve beaters with the added bonus of being Sphinxes. Tomik, Distinguished Advokist is slightly above curve but is usually a french vanilla 2/3 for 2. Unless ELD brings us a lot of land interaction, I'd probably give it a pass.
