Blinking Bird Tribal?
TLDR: I want to make a somewhat unique Kastral deck as a bracket 3-4 that combines Bird Tribal and Blink into a deck that attacks relentlessly once it gets going and generates a lot of value through card draw and control.
The main goal is to build a Kastral deck that is a little more interesting by adding in some blink to give me some value on bird etb effects while also removing the finality counters from the birds he cheats in so that I can keep getting them back.
My main struggle has been making sure that the blink part of the deck is actually adding value, since kastral can add +1/+1 counters that I wouldn’t want to lose by blinking. I’ve tried to add a decent amount of static anthem buffs to help keep my birds strong even if they are dying (because I want to swing them non-stop for Kastral triggers) or getting blinked.
I want the deck to have a few different win conditions (still mostly combat oriented) so I’ve added a few wild cards like tine shrike for infect and one infinite combo with Naru Meha, Master Wizard and Ghostly Flicker offering infinite blink (still looking for cards that can offer in-theme payoff for this like infinite bird tokens by flickering Wingmate Roc)
I also really like expansion algorithm since Kastral makes it easy to get pretty sudden proliferate value by just tossing a single +1/+1 on all of my birds. Lastly double strike offers a ton of value since it lets me get multiple Kastral triggers from the separate damage phases, so cards like Akroma’s Will and True Conviction feel like they offer good value.
The deck feels a little slow to get off the ground but as soon as I start drawing and cheating in birds with Kastral it feels pretty good.
This is my first time trying to build a commander deck so any suggestions are appreciated!
