You can satisfy all your cardboard crack needs for under $30! Even better, this deck doesn't rotate!

The ideal start for this deck would be:

T1: Triton Shorestalker , Ornithopter

T2: Military Intelligence, hit for 1 and draw a card.

This sets you up to draw a lot of cards and deal a lot of damage fast. Add in Ensoul Artifact and Welkin Tern and your opponent only has a few turns left.

CARD ANALYSIS

Creatures

Ornithopter : One of the most powerful cards in the deck. This is usually either a few cards for 0 mana or a 2 mana 5/5 flying.

Triton Shorestalker : This evasive little one drop does a lot of work. He adds 1 devotion, gets in for a little damage, and draws a few cards, all for 1 mana.

Hypnotic Siren : Similar to Shorestalker, except can be blocked by flyers. Also has a bit of late game power If you ever get to 7 mana.

Welkin Tern and Vaporkin : Cheap, aggressive flyers.

Ensoul Artifact: Not technically a creature, but this is where things get fun, like T2 5/5 flyers, or T2 5/5 indestructible creatures, or 5/5 Hall of Triumph s.

Crystalline Nautilus : A 3 mana 4/4, or a huge boost to one of my flyers.

Master of Waves : With all the devotion this will get a huge amount of power for only 4 mana.

Noncreatures

Void Snare: Some basic removal.

Military Intelligence: The engine of this deck. This 2 mana investment will draw you a ton of cards over the course of the game.

Hall of Triumph : A little boost to all of the 1/1s and 2/1s.

Darksteel Citadel: This may seem like an odd addition but with Ensoul Artifact it's a 2 mana 5/5 indestructible.

DONT FORGET TO DROP A +1 AND A COMMENT IF YOU LIKE IT
