MTG Bloomburrow is on its way, featuring exciting new creature types like Mouse and Rabbit. Birds, however, remain a staple. Here are the top five Bird cards for MTG enthusiasts in the Philippines, ideal for building or upgrading your Bird-themed Commander deck.

#5 | Derevi, Empyrial Tactician

Derevi is a top Commander pick due to its efficiency and ability to untap lands whenever it or another creature connects in combat. Its four-mana ability lets you avoid the Commander tax, and it works well with cards like Emiel the Blessed and Gaea’s Cradle for infinite mana combos. Derevi is strong in both traditional Commander and cEDH.

#4 | Ledger Shredder

Ledger Shredder is an excellent two-drop creature, especially in multiplayer formats like Commander. Its ability triggers from any player's spell, offering significant card selection. It’s particularly strong in Pioneer, where it replaced Thing in the Ice in Izzet Phoenix decks. Despite reduced play in Modern, Ledger Shredder remains valuable.

#3 | Birds of Paradise

An MTG classic, Birds of Paradise has been essential since Alpha. It's popular in multi-color ramp Commander decks for its ability to tap for any color of mana. Although less common in Modern and Legacy due to newer cards, Birds of Paradise is still crucial in decks with strict color requirements.

#2 | Slickshot Show-Off

A new card from this year, Slickshot Show-Off has quickly made an impact in Standard, Pioneer, and Modern. It’s great in aggressive, spell-based decks with evasion, Haste, and significant buffs from noncreature spells. Slickshot Show-Off revitalized red aggressive decks and has been key in top-tier tournament finishes.

#1 | Nadu, Winged Wisdom

Nadu, Winged Wisdom, has dominated the metagame since its release, especially in Modern with its powerful combo with Shuko. Its strong performance in tournaments and high win percentage make it a force in both cEDH and Legacy Elves decks. Nadu’s impact on the game is immense, solidifying its place as the best Bird card ever printed in MTG.

These top five Bird cards highlight the best options for your MTG decks in the Philippines.
