Like I said, I can only go by my own experience, which is now 18 years. Kind of disheartening when you think you know something and you find out that you're a notch below a low grade moron.

When each player controls a creature and all creatures on the battlefield have flying, you win the game.
5/5
Great concept, and the 2WW cost works a lot better than the WWWW you used to have. I think I'd generally rather play Geist of Saint Traft thanks to Hexproof and the lower cost, but it's not bad. 8.5/10
Oculus - Heron Flock
It's OK. Maybe a little on the strong side for an uncommon, but not enough impact to make it a rare. The flavor is a little weak. 8/10
Megiddo - Carrier Pigeon
Great flavor and great design. I would make this uncommon rather than common just because in limited this will tend to get out of hand in multiples. 9.5/10
Diefi00 - Megiddo, Flamingo of War
I knew I'd see a flamingo or two here. Sort of a Phelddagrif without the drawback, but it's still pretty balanced. 7.5/10
PanchoPonceN - Raincaller
Beautiful. Excellent flavor, perfect balance, and could be a great hit in a format with a "land type matters" theme or subtheme. 10/10
CrustaceanCrusader - Mischievous Cuckoo
Obligate brood parasites for the win. Very good design. 9/10
FoxxyEDarko - The Penguin
I'm not much of a Batman buff, but I don't think these abilities have much to do with what The Penguin does in the DC canon. 5/10
MagicBrains - Wardiver Falcon
Flying and pseudotrample are kind of working on the same axis here, but the possibility of double strike makes it a bit more interesting in that you can assign first strike damage to the blocker and normal damage to the player. Pseudotrample is not a white ability, though. 7/10
Summon_Legend - Aquatic Emu
This is, um, fine I guess. Doesn't excite me, but there's nothing wrong with it either. 8/10
Brofaux - Ominous Shadow
This is dangerously powerful. Also, I don't think you want players to try to put Hideous Laughter onto the battlefield. 6/10
secrethumorman - Birds of a Different Color
Mega Birds of Paradise, sure. Big upside if you can untap with it but it's very fragile. This could be mono-green or green-white, but it would be fine as a three-color card in a multicolor format. 7.5/10
Stapler - Bloodbath Buzzard
Pretty good. The pinging ability and the big evasive body add a bit of tension, but not in a bad way. 8.5/10
Gallus - Carnivorous Cassowary
Another vampire bird huh. Potentially a pretty big threat, but there isn't really anything about this card that makes it a bird other than the name. 6/10
Prophylaxis - Flock of Birds
Birds don't give birth. This will get out of hand very quickly unchecked, but the master body is pretty fragile. 7/10
Vishamon - Aven Wingmate
Heproof is the best ability ever! Pretty much a filler uncommon, but not badly designed for what it is. 7.5/10
Reebtoor - Hitchcock's Revenge
This seems like a huge deterrent for its cost, and it doesn't really seem like black's MO. 6/10
Winterspring - Avien Hexmage
No rarity. I'm not sure white is quite ready for strictly better than Leonin Skyhunter at uncommon, but this would be a pretty lame rare. 6/10
k-rad - Peck to Death
The name needs a bit of work, perhaps, but it's a great white combat trick. 8/10
Ninja Caterpie - Griffin Cohort
A more differenter Griffin Rider. Better than the rider without a griffin around, but I probably still wouldn't play it. 7.5/10
bloodyspasm - Downsweep Buzzard
Too much going on for an uncommon. 7/10
Wizzpig - Skybomber Eagle
A bit too much going on for an uncommon. An eagle is a bird soldier? 7/10
avatarz - Sloppy Gull
This would be fairly interesting if it had flash and either a slightly higher cost or a slightly smaller body. As it is, it's just meh. 7/10
Piar - Premeditated Precipitation
I would call this "Bird's Eye View" or something. It seems fair enough, but not amazing. 8/10
void_nothing - Quetzal Condor
Nice flavor, but it has the potential to just say "oops, I win" the moment it resolves. I would balance it out by delaying the trigger until your upkeep, rather than allowing it to trigger any time. 7.5/10
