What makes you go with Cavalry Pegasus , Casino647?

Banisher Priest , Boros Elite , Imposing Sovereign , Precinct Captain , and Soldier of the Pantheon are all humans, every creature is except for Dryad Militant . Do you want only one creature with flying (Daring Skyjek ), or your whole team flying (Cavalry Pegasus )?

That's what I have been thinking, however looking at all the decklists that top 8 big tourneys, Daring Skyjek is in there way more than Cavalry Pegasus

Daring Skyjek because it's not a miserable creature to play on an empty board. Aggro decks should be consistently putting threats out first and then focus on synergy as they can.
I could maybe see running 1 Cavalry Pegasus , but you basically never want to see them in multiples and you never want to be in a situation where it's your only creature on board.

If you a doing Boros aggro, then daring skyjek all the way.

I myself prefer the 3 power for 2 mana skyjek. Imo I feel like aggro decks that swarm should focus less on creature synergy and more about being a threat by itself and even if it gets removed (tons of removal nowadays) it doesn't affect your board presence as much. Being 3 power for 2 is insanely good, as it could trade with things like Fleecemane Lion which tends to become a wall to aggro. In regards to white weenies, you should be alpha striking with Brave the Elements anyways so I find the extra 2 damage from skyjek more of a threat than making everyone flying AND alpha strike. Just my thought on it, hope this helped a little. I run also run boros weenies but its less of a swarm deck, you should check it out for ideas.
