Modern Flying

The goal is to keep dropping Flying creatures and controlling the game via interactions in spells and abilities. The main attackers are Pride of the Clouds and Skycat Sovereign, and should be kept safe if possible. Selfless Spirit and Siren Stormtamer can help with that. Afterwards we use our Lord effect in Empyrean Eagle to buff every creature, achieving high amounts of hard-to-block damage

Creatures:

• Siren Stormtamer is a cheap creature able to protect others from a dangerous move
• Pride of the Clouds and Skycat Sovereign get stronger with every creature I have in play
• Cloudfin Raptor is a support attacker that starts humble but grows quickly
• Selfless Spirit can give its life to safeguard everyone else's
• Empyrean Eagle buffs other creatures
• Brazen Borrower usually uses its Adventure first for disruption, then enters as a decent attacker

Other spells:

• Path to Exile is instant removal
• Silence postpones enemy plays
• Chart a Course and Preordain provide card draw and deck fixing

Sideboard:

• Hurkyl's Recall soft board wipes opposing artifacts
• Pithing Needle handles many troublesome cards like Engineered Explosives
• Rest in Peace neutralizes graveyard decks
• Surge of Salvation protects my board further
• Hushbringer is used against ETB and dying strategies
• Metropolis Reformer is deployed against Burn, Mill and Discard

Deck and sideboard still under final reviews. Any help appreciated!
