Modern agressive flying deck?
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 6, 2011, 2:25 p.m. by bitemin
I've been playing Pyromancer Ascension in modern for about 2 months now, and have been contemplating building my own deck. I would like to build a deck around aggressive flying creatures, only trouble is I only started playing in New Phrexia so I have no idea what cards I should use.
If you have any cards or strategies to suggest or similar decks you've already built I'd Like to hear about them. Thankyou!

i have not built one myself, not have i really explored it. but a u/w artifact flyer deck with Tempered Steel and Gravitational Shift might be interesting. here is a list of all the flying artifact creatures in modern:

there are some pretty nice ones in there. Sharding Sphinx , Ethersworn Adjudicator (in which case you might want to splash a little bit of black), Sanctum Gargoyle , Ornithopter , Steel Hellkite ...

if you want to go with u/w there is always Pride of the Clouds
however, I would look at all of these in addition to the above:Honor of the Pure , Celestial Crusader , Magus of the Moat , Briarberry Cohort , and Esper Stormblade

Azorius First-Wing , Godhead of Awe , and Sky Spirit are also good choices for U/W.

sorry Sky Spirit isn't modern legal. then the next best is Talon Trooper .

It probably needs a lot of work and something to replace the oblivion ring, can't remember the card :(.Now I'm off to make a list for for the Tempered Steel suggestion as I already have them.

well, I'd suggest a mono white or blue/white for flying.
card ideas:Squadron Hawk
Surveilling Sprite
Mighty Leap
Armored Ascension
Roil Elemental
just a start.
You can take a look at my decks W/ Cheap and UW/ flyers for ideas too. both of them are low mana cost, aggro based flyers.
