This is just a casual deck I'm making to play with friends (we are all fairly new to the game excluding 1 or 2 of them) mainly in 2v2 or 3v3 setups. I will play test this deck with them hopefully sometime soon...

So! To the deck...

The idea of this deck involves using...

Cards that benefit from or bulk up birds whenever they enter or leave play:

Soulcatcher

Soulcatchers' Aerie

Door of Destinies

Cards to sac birds and potentially bring them back:

Seaside Haven: To sacrifice birds and get draw

Sigil of the New Dawn : To return birds you sacrificed to your hand to then be played and sacrificed again.

Then utilize cheap birds with useful effects such as:

Augury Owl: To scry through your deck

Cloudchaser Kestrel: Destroy key enchantments

Squadron Hawk: Just love the name and then lets you get several hawks out fast which combo's great with Door of Destinies and gives you fodder for sacrificing to draw and beef up your Soulcatchers' Aerie and Soulcatcher .

I added Cloud Cover to keep enchantments from being totally destroyed (still loses the counters but hopefully by then you have the means to add back to them quickly). After some play testing the issue of enchantment destruction was highlighted (Was late-game vs a cleric deck and all my birds went from 17/17 to 6/6 due to double Disenchants on Cloud Cover and Door of Destinies ). So! I threw in Counterspell and Hindering Light to protect from or preemptively counter enchant destruction on creatures.

Thrummingbird is in there to be a another bird that you can attack with and always benefit from regardless if it lives or dies, especially if you have Sigil of the New Dawn out.

The maybeboard includes most other birds I own so I just have that there as a reference...

Comments would be greatly appreciated as this is my first real deck that I've put any thought into.
