#3 Jacked Rabbit

• Ability: Allows you to create multiple 1/1 Rabbit tokens when it attacks, synergizing with the deck's focus on 1/1 creatures.

• Ability: Draws a card for each spell an opponent casts if the spell's mana value is higher than Pollywog Prodigy's toughness, providing card draw and scaling potential.

Synergistic Support Spells

#1 Murmuration

• Ability: Buffs your Birds and creates copies of Storm Crow based on your Storm count, adding a unique twist to the deck.

#3 Fortune Teller’s Talent

• Ability: Allows you to manipulate the top of your library, aiding in the deck's overall strategy of leveraging powerful ETB effects.

Reasonable Reprints
