Strategy
Appa is a flying enabler that turns your ground-bound creatures into aerial threats. The deck revolves around building a wide board of creatures—especially ones that benefit from flying or evasion—then swinging in with Appa as your air force coordinator. Each attack triggers Appa's ability, letting you give flying to one of your other attackers, effectively turning your entire team into flyers over multiple turns.
The gameplan is straightforward midrange: ramp into creatures, build a board, and attack early and often. You'll want to load up on creatures with useful attack triggers (like Swordbelly Ghoul or other Allies if tribal is your angle, or just good aggro creatures in general) so that the flying boost keeps your damage accelerating. Since Appa's effect is repeatable each combat, you're essentially working toward a critical mass of evasive threats that can close out the game.

Budget Build
Skip expensive utility lands; use basics and cheap dual lands like Evolving Wilds. Replace pricey creatures with bulk rares like Aerial Responder or Stoneforge Mystic staples with combat-focused commons.
