Aerial Extortionist
White removal almost never hands the card back. This one exiles a nonland permanent, then leaves the door propped open: the owner may cast the exiled card while it stays gone. That is not a Path to Exile-style ramp concession or an Oblivion Ring-style hostage hold; it is a deliberate loan, framed by white's political streak. The 4/3 flying body is built to keep collecting, since the combat-damage trigger recurs the exile every time it connects, and each recurrence renews the same bargain. The second ability is where the design tips its hand: it draws you a card whenever any other player casts a spell from somewhere other than their hand, which is exactly what your exile clause invites them to do. The permanent you just took becomes fuel the moment its owner reaches for it, and so does any flashback, foretell, adventure, or command-zone cast happening across the table. It rewards a permissive table rather than a locked-down one, converting other players' resourcefulness into your card advantage. The friction between generosity and greed is the point: you grant access to slow an opponent's tempo, and you profit when they take you up on it. A conditional loan that pays interest, wearing the type line of a Bird Soldier.
