Strategy
Donal, Herald of Wings is a flying-focused engine that doubles down on evasive creatures. Every nonlegendary flying creature you cast gets copied as a 1/1 Spirit token, turning a single card into two bodies. This is perfect for wide strategies—you're building a flying-focused swarm deck where efficiency creatures do double duty. You'll fill your deck with cheap, evasive flyers like Favorable Winds enablers and cantrip creatures, then win by attacking with a growing aerial army that gets bigger from your copies. The key is picking creatures that do something meaningful even as 1/1s, so card draw, sacrifice synergies, and token-doublers all amplify your game plan.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey flyers like Solitude; use efficient commons and uncommons like Watcher of the Spheres and Gleam of Authority—your tokens do the real work, not power level.
