AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.

Limited summary

A 9-mana 8/8 flash flier that discounts itself by your fliers' total power — in a birds-and-eagles deck it can arrive shockingly early, at instant speed, as an ambush blocker. A finisher for evasive decks.

Roles

Archetypes

Play around this

Late game against blue with lots of open mana and fliers on board: an 8/8 flash blocker can appear mid-combat.

Gameplay notes

Count your fliers' power before the turn you plan it. Flash means you can hold it as a combat trick: block-and-kill an attacker they thought was safe.
