Matriarch's Minion (Deck)

Stack up on icons and play cards that give you birds! Then, wipe away all the useless and foul creatures so the birds can take flight! This deck uses the Bird Archetype
I recently got back into this game and reworked the deck to maximize the effectiveness of the Zanzel Repentant. This deck now focuses on returning the Zanzel Repentant over and over to fill your deck with birds. It's pretty resistant against mill too.

After some not so careful consideration, I decided that Blacken the Skies doesn't add much value to the deck, so I made it monogreen with the exception of Orinthian Force: Pilot, because of it's returning capabilities. It now focuses on baseplate and colorless stud generation.

FIGHTERS
Zanzel Repentant x1
The most important card in this deck. Try to keep it away from danger until you have it powered up. You can do this by playing it and
Tom's Beans or Orinthian Force: Pilot in the same turn.
Oozlebachr x3
It really maximizes generation and stalling!
Cambium Tender x4
Pretty much just used to allow The Great Tree to be casted.
Duckywow x3
I wouldn't discard this that often. It's great at stalling and can handle lower HP targets.
Neutrinous x2
A great baseplate builder for your baseplate building needs.
Kc666beast x3
A great fighter that you can also discard if you don't need. It's cheap and has high stats.
Brymmy]] x3
You can use this to generate lots of green studs.
Orinthian Force: Pilot x4
Use this to return your Zanzel Repentant. I recommend saving it.
Spikle x4
You can start the game off with this, a cheap genner!
Brycen27 x4
It creates colorless studs for you to use!
ACTIONS
Tom's Beans x4
I recommend saving this for when you need to return your Zanzel Repentant.
Alpha Brick's Presence x2
This is insane with Zanzel Repentant as Birds will now be twice as effective.
The Great Tree x3
It generates colorless studs for you to use.
==How to Play==
===Early Game (40-30 Cards Remaining)===
The most recommended cards for this phase of the game would be Oozlebachr, Spikle, and Neutrinous. Discard cards like Brycen27 and Cambium Tender to generate your baseplate. Your general gameplan is to get six green cards or more in your baseplate, and to survive.
===Mid Game (30-20 Cards Remaining)=== 
If you've pulled Zanzel Repentant by now, you can start casting and returning it from your saved Orinthian Force: Pilot and Tom's Beans from pulling in the first phase. You can start racking up birds in your inventory as well as cast Alpha Brick's Presence.
=== End Game (20-0 Cards Remaining/Pulling your first bird.)===
As decieving as the 20-0 Cards Remaining might be, with your Zanzel Repentant constantly replenishing it, you don't have to worry about Fatique. The idea now is to continue casting your birds and if you haven't already, get your Alpha Brick's Presence in so you can double the effect of your birds. Use your high-statted free fighters to crush enemies and win the game! Check Bird Priority below.
==Bird Casting Priority ==
 
Bird of Eternal Paradise
This bird can buff HP. That's all really, but if you have no other choice or your birds are low, I'd cast it.
3/5
Eternal Tweety
This bird is insane if you attack and alternate casting it. Similar to how you can unlock toys a lot in one turn. Cast it to cycle your birds over and over again. It's pretty rare to get this bird specifically though, for some reason.
5/5
Crow of Eternal Torment
Literally does nothing but fill the board. It can attack immediately, but why do that when you have Tweety? Cast it if your Zanzel is untransformed and it's the only bird you have.
1/5
Parrot of Eternal Dominion
Very good bird, can't be countered and buffs power. Use it to take out high power/high hp targets. :)
5/5

==How to Beat==
Buff based aggro decks usually tend to body slam this one, (like most other decks), i.e. Bees, Ninjas(pls nerf i beg), and Doges.
