So this is my idea of a fun 60. It uses my favorite flying creatures for an aggressive "unblockable" assault.

Pretty straight forward cast and swing, with a lot of secret abilities worked in. Sideboard is in the works.

The Breakdown

Judge's Familiar , Mausoleum Wanderer and Siren Stormtamer are solid 1-drop plays. They double as counterspells.

Oona's Prowler either hits for 3 or 1 on it's own. Less if they wanna toss 2 cards to prevent 3 damage. More if the anthem effects are out. This card spins the clock.

Smuggler's Copter evades off turn creature wrath, helps dig through the library and makes good use of those 1 drops and spirit tokens.

Gurmag Swiftwing is in as opposed to a 2 powered 2cmc because there is no difference in total damage dealt until it's 3rd swing. In addition to that, it has first strike, and haste which makes it versatile as a blocker and a late game play.

Pride of the Clouds just gets BIG. He's gonna eat lot's of removal.

Thunderclap Wyvern is a winged Favorable Winds . Flash is icing on the cake.

Lingering Souls is just good all around. It synergizes well with a few cards. Makes Pride of the Clouds big faster. Helps power Smuggler's Copter (Also can be tossed with smuggler's copter with no hard feelings). Nuff Said.

Favorable Winds spins the clock faster.

Path to Exile is just the most versatile removal spell I can stuff in.
