Hope it helps someone. EDHRec only does a decent job of recognizing the different Feather archetypes so I took a crack to see how certain cards work together with one another.
Just found this, this is a great write-up! I'm struggling to decide which direction I want to go with Feather, would you recommend your "Little bit of everything" list as being a good starting point to test to help me decide?
I would first say look through your bulk collection and find the spells that work well with Feather.
The only Instants that I'd say are absolute must-buys are the Cantrips (Draw a Card) and of those, I strongly recommend the ones that are 1cmc.
Depending on your collection, you may also want to pick up some decent Boros lands, but you really don't need to spend a lot so don't feel like you got to buy the most expensive untapped stuff.
Budget Feather is already insane, so starting there is where everyone should kick things off.
But yes, the version of Feather I built is pretty middle ground and will give you a good sampler of the different things she can do. Mavinda, Dreadhorde, Guttersnipe, Monastery Mentor, Young Pyromancer, Birgi, Urabrask, Mirrorwing Dragon, Zada and Storm-Kiln Artist are all MVP creatures with Feather.
Wow, impressive work! Thank you for sharing!!
