This is a trial run to see if this idea works (proliferate lots of counters) in EDH. Feedback needed and welcome.

The deck is based primarily around fliers - the enemies deck will have trouble keeping up with them all, especially after Magus of the Moat and Kangee hit the board.

The second idea is proliferation. The deck may be slow off the mark to begin with - but once Kangee hits the field with a feather counter - all the birds get +1/+1. Proliferate this up, along with the +1/+1 counters generated from Cathars' Crusade, Brace for Impact and Ajani Goldmane AND the feather counters on cards such as Soulcatchers' Aerie, and your birds with be growing in power quicker than your opponent can keep up. This isn't even to mention Aven Mimeomancer - who can put even more feather counters on Kangee!

The final "theme" in the deck are the control spells - these are to help your deck get off the ground (pun intended). The deck is slow at the start - but cards such as Dissipation Field and Volition Reins help you set the record straight. This stalling will help you get your counters on your creatures and prepare Calciform Pools in order to cast Kangee or Mikaeus, the Lunarch with the maximum possible counters!
