Stormscape Familiar is also very important, as is Warden of Evos Isle , to a lesser extent. With the Warden or Familiar in play, all of our hawks will only cost one white mana to cast. This makes it much easier to fill the board. Playing a full four of the Familiar is a must, but we only need around two copies of Warden.

The two hawks, Squadron and Welkin, are our key players. They help keep the board covered in beaks and talons. While Squadron finds his friends when you cast him, Welkin calls for help every time a copy of him dies. (Because of this, Welkin has a few tricks up his sleeve. We can save those for later on).
