STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
I'm not sure that this is a worse/better pride of clouds or not cause this wont count your opponents flyers(pride does), which can be somewhat relevant when trying to calculate damage but at the same time you dont have to upkeep the creation ability which locks down your mana during your turns so you can EOT token if you have resources.
Still a very good card and if I recall correctly this could get standard playable considering all the cheap flyers in the format.

I think ultimately it's worth not counting other players' flying creatures to have more flexibility in token generation (including making multiples per turn), but there are certainly going to be times where Pride is the more powerful. I like that the Sovereign isn't completely obsoleting Pride.
The art is really messing with me.. the little cat in front is lit like it is being lit by the sun, which is behind the Big cat... but somehow it is.. in front of the big cat?
The way that small cat looks makes it look like it is in the distance, but its positioning is in front of the big cat... Its.. all sorts of not right. It almost feels like they drew the small cat then just pasted it on top of the image....

You mean the small cat to the immediate left of the sovereign cat? Based on the lighting on the back of the latter's wings, the source of light is perpendicular to the big wings, and thus can illuminate both its big wings, and the small cat.
Though it lacks the "all flyers" ability of Pride of the Clouds it has some potential as a combo win condition if you can put together a way to crank out a bunch of UW mana. It is a solid threat when targeted by Mirrorweave when you have a handful of token flyers to attack with.

Zirda, the Dawnwaker makes this much more playable and it gives it flex on some other cards as a bonus you can use the ability twice a opponents end step if Zirda survives as well as zirda making any opponents flyers that much less effective blockers.

Well that's really boring. Still a nice card, but boring.
But without forecast and it’s a while in play ability

Well, if there's a pride deck, this is copies #5-8
(Pride counts your opponents' flyers too, FWIW.)
I have been imagining and sort of working on an Esper flyers deck, that would certainly want this. Love the art, too.

Those should have: "Cat Birds can't attack. at the beginning of your upkeep, each cat bird deals damage to itself equal to its power."
