Deck {W}{U}:

An aggressive airborne deck that takes advantage of anthem effects via Empyrean Eagle and Favorable Winds to buff all your creatures. The deck becomes super resilient once valkyries Angelic Guardian and Sephara, Sky's Blade take flight to give your creatures on the battlefield some form of indestructible.

Card draw:

• Winged Words
• Spectral Sailor
• Dovin, Grand Arbiter: not to be underestimated, this plainswalker is an excellent source of card advantage in any aggro deck as you can reach its ultimate consistently and at times, fire it off multiple times in a single game.
  For added value, if you have some anthem effects on the battlefield, Dovin can easily spit out buffed thopters to join your airborne armada.

Combat tricks/Removal:

• Rally of Wings
• Seal Away

Anthem effects:

• Empyrean Eagle
• Favorable Winds

Noteable flyers:

• Kinjalli's Sunwing: a great tempo play that keeps your opponents defensive strategies one step behind and has excellent synergy with Seal Away as it allows you to exile your oppomemts creatures at instant speed the minute they enter the battlefield.
• Watcher of the Spheres: provides cost reduction for all creatures in the deck. A great way to cheat your valkyries onto the battlefield a couple of turns earlier.
• Healer's Hawk: with all the anthem effects and Rally of Wings at your disposal, you can find yourself gaining a sizeable amount of life very quickly.
• Sephara, Sky's Blade: with eight 1CMC flyers in the deck (Spectral Sailor, Healer's Hawk), you can get this creature onto the battlefield as early as turn 3.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy playing the deck! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated -Blackgate
