Nacly Nerfherder's Salty Skies (EDH / Commander)

Representative Cards:

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
Donal, Herald of Wings
Magus of the Moat

> Notes

Why is this deck good for a scruffy-looking Nerfherder?

1. Evasion bro, get aggro
2. You're unlikely to get stuck top decking with all the good card draw and the commander's ability
3. It's got good board state control and mitigation/protection to allow you to attack with absolutely reckless abandon

Deck Notes:

• Wincon: Combat damage from creatures with Flying, the only true form of E V A S I O N
• The idea is to be able to ramp up and fly through your deck by casting creatures off the top with Errant and Giada, hopefully doing it at instant speed by granting flash to your library (Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage), and swinging for more and more every turn. Side note: there are enough legendary creatures to count it as a secondary theme if you wanted to shift the deck to focus on that.
• The section labeled Mitigation is mostly meant to free you up to attack without having to worry about blockers (eg Magus of the Moat). I would encourage attacking all the time. There are a few late game bombs (Moonshaker Cavalry, Storm Herd, True Conviction), but it's more about "normal" combat, so keep grinding while you can before someone pulls a boardwipe, although you can probably recover from boardwipes better than most with all of your card draw, not to mention the possibility of temporary indestructible from Selfless Spirit and similar cards.
