I don't know if you have the basic's set aside for the deck already, but I'm pretty sure these are the only two lands with birds clearly in their art. Just to make the deck 100% birb.

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately, the deck is White/Blue so the forests won't be applicable, which is a shame as they are sweet.

Currently I'm running these plains:
https://scryfall.com/card/akh/256/plains
https://scryfall.com/card/akh/250/plains
https://scryfall.com/card/8ed/334/plains

Mostly because I already had them in my collection.

I'm also running these islands:

But I don't quite have enough. Your ROE suggestion is sweet. Very birdy. Art is cool. Will definitely look to finish off the basics with these.

Wouldn't Kefnet the Mindful and God-Eternal Kefnet be birdy enough?

Same with Wild Aesthir, Duskrider Peregrine, Coveted Peacock, Messenger Jays, Welkin Tern, Welkin Guide, Anvilwrought Raptor, Judge's Familiar, Celestial Gatekeeper, Sphinx's Revelation, a Plains from Mirage, Crookclaw Elder, Crookclaw Transmuter, Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker, Cloudreach Cavalry, Raven Familiar, Aven Brigadier.

Sorry for wall of text. I tried including every possibly playable bird I could find that you didn't have, especially those with draw effects to help with land drops.

Hey,

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. A lot of these birds are really good. You are absolutely right, a lot of these are very playable and better than some of the current includes. I'll definitely look to make some changes for some of your suggestions in time, so thanks a lot.

With regards to the Kefnet's, I'm torn. I agree that Kefnet is very birdy, but I'm currently debating cutting Windreader Sphinx and Sephara due to their lack of a bird type. I'm really not interested in this deck being good, just really birdy.

That said, Kefnet the Mindful is a pet card of mine. I loved Amonkhet, drafted the shit out of it and actually ended up pulling a full playset of Kefnets without pulling a single other God. I played the Blue/White Approach of the Second Sun deck with him in standard while it was a thing and loved it (until the Scarab God came along) and to this day, Kefnet the Mindful is one of those cards that my playgroup associates with me. I do love him, and am very tempted to make a exception for him.

Thanks again to both of you for your suggestions.

a Plains from Mirage

Oop, don't know why I said forest. The plains for Mirage is number 334 I believe
https://scryfall.com/card/mir/334/plains

There are also some in 331, but the birds aren't as obvious
https://scryfall.com/card/mir/331/plains
I play black decks.


That's about it.
