I think this would be an intriguing option but I'm generally opposed to it for competitive settings. The "power 4" are obvious power outliers, and after that the Wood Duck has a unique ability to end a game in the first round, but while some of those birds are pretty bad in the abstract, ...

In the case of Wingspan, I don't think there are cards that are truly unplayable. In the examples the OP gave, I think all the migratory birds are useful, especially if played in the first round (Bewick's Wren, Blue Grosbeak, Common Nighthawk, Yellow-Breasted Chat), even if they are your only optio...

I'm sure you can look at the least played birds analysis to make your determinations, but here's my suggestions: Acord Woodpecker Bewick's Wren Black-Billed Whistling-Duck Blue Grosbeak Common Nighthawk Loggerhead Shrike Yello...
