When can you be assured that no enemies stand in your way? When you dive at them from above! The "Devouring Skies" deck is loaded with creatures with flying, power-pumping Equipment, and just enough ways to keep your opponent off balance while you finish your assault.

Start things off by casting quick little fliers like Augury Owl and Hovermyr and beginning to attack. They might not deal a lot of damage yet, but every little bit helps—and once you start augmenting them with Equipment such as Viridian Claw and Warlord's Axe, they'll be carving out sizable chunks of your opponent's life total. As the game progresses, keep up the attack. Larger creatures like Impaler Shrike and Spire Monitor will join your air force. Some formidable creatures will clog up the ground, as will Equipment with living weapon.

In the meantime, use your disruption judiciously. Vapor Snag and Doom Blade get pesky blockers out of the way so you can continue your incursions. Blind Zealot and Dementia Bat can be sacrificed to deprive your opponent of key resources. It's up to you to determine whether it's more valuable to keep your creature or to sucker punch your enemy.

If you'd like to modify the deck, one option is to try some different New Phyrexia Equipment. The more Swamps you control, the more Lashwrithe pumps up the creature it's equipping. Sword of War and Peace protects your creatures from a wide range of removal spells while dealing extra damage to your opponent. And Batterskull makes any creature who's wielding it a gigantic threat, plus it can continually resupply itself with Germs!
