To be honest, it looks like you just threw all of your spare flying cards together. confused

next time you post a decklist, PLEASE don't indent it that much. it's perfectly clear if you leave just one space between each card, you don't need to double space. (and try to group your lands and other cards into groups...it's easier to get an idea if you have the right number of lands in the deck.)

okay, now for the deck. your strategy is very straightforward, and i like it. just attack with flying creatures. however, you can have more efficient ways of doing this...the thing that i'm most critical about in this deck is the mana base. you use all five colors, but very few ways of smoothing out the colors. also, you have 28 lands for a deck that's approximately 60 cards. usually, for this kind of deck, you want to max out at 23, and MAYBE 24, if you have a LOT of high mana cost things. i suggest that you stick to just two colors, and have about 23 lands, and lots of cards that cost 3 or less (in a 60 card deck, of course). black blue, or blue white might be good. black blue has vampires and lots of removal spells to help them deal damage. white has glorious anthem...though it's a little pricey, and it looks like you want all creatures.
basically, i suggest mana-efficient fliers. 2/2's for 2, or 1/1's for 1. those are good. and get lots of them! redundancy is good. lots of one-ofs in a deck make it very hard to get the cards that you really need.
i hope this has helped!

looks sort of cluttered. perhaps you should specialize in say. Blue, White, and Black flyers.

at the moment, the sheer number of lands your running will get you bogged down. your fliers are ok, but you should think more cost efficiently. take white and blue, they have birds that cost 1-3 with pretty good effects, and have 1 power and usually at elast 1 defense, makes them pretty good for massing out an army.

you also have a lot of singles, while this allows you to have a lot of different strategies, the deck at the moment runs jsut beat face with big flying stuff.

you should shrink it down so you hvae a slightly more focused strategy.

I'll drop my Bird Soldier deck, and give you an example of a flyer's deck.

Or you could look at the Legendary Dragon deck, everyone in that flies too.

Moonfolk make for a good flying deck.

It's missing levitation.

And where are the angels?!! They're some of the best flyers out there!

problem is cost, since it's five color, the deck should be running cards with a single colored mana. the majority of angels cost something like 3WW, the important thing is the fact that it tkaes two white, so that is a problem with geting the white mana, especially with only three plains in the entire deck.

There are cards that can disble flying creatures all together. You need more spells and a fairly balanced amount of mana. mabye add a few more mountains or plains.

You may want to just cut down to 2 colors, maybe even three.

My suggestion of colors would be:
Blue: They have flying creatures for cheap. Counters are always nice, too.
White: They have BIG flying creatures for cheap. Art/Enchantment Killing is always nice too.
Black: Few Flying Creatures, but hey, when you're swatting every creature the other guy has... Black should have lowest priority, since it doesn't have many flying creatures.

That's essentially how my Bird Soldier deck works...
