Air Superiority

To build the Air Superiority deck, put together seven plains, seven islands, ten to eleven white cards, and ten to eleven blue cards, for a total of thirty-five cards. Leave all other cards out. About fourteen of the cards should be summon creatures. Be sure to include lots of defensive cards and creatures with flying such as Defiant Stand and Snapping Drake.

General Deckbuilding Tip: Often, when both players have creatures, neither player wants to attack. Most good decks include cards that can let you get through even when your opponent has as many creatures as you do.

Playing the Air Superiority Deck

Winning with this deck means playing defense early on and using your large creatures with flying to attack your opponent in the later stages of the game. Since flying creatures are so difficult to intercept, they often make the difference between victory and defeat.

Play Tip: Your creatures with flying are your key to victory. Don’t have them intercept and die unless you really need to.
