That was an amazing and very insightful report, thanks so much for writing it! It's awesome to see into the mind behind tournament winning books. Congrats again on your victory!

Couple of Questions:
So you never had any focus on your Falcons?
Did you see any creatures? lots of small/few mid/Ranged (like the Crossbowman)
Did anyone use Guard to counterstrike your birds?
ringkichard:
Damn fine report.
ringkichard:
When I used to run swarm Beastmaster, I ran into issues getting my Falcons picked off one by one, usually by Arcane Zap + Ranged Attack (usually Gorgon) + Wizard's Tower. How should I avoid this? Is Lifetree sufficient? The hard limit of 6 Falcons became an issue, and Bats just aren't as good or as cheep.
If you knew your brother was bringing a book with Orb + Obelisk + Gargoyle, would you still want to play Aviary?
I'm having a hard time imagining bringing three Suppression Cloaks. Is that common where you play?
