Attentive Skywarden

The Incubate mechanic put a dormant artifact on the battlefield: a token that sits inert until someone pays two mana to flip it into a creature. This flyer solves that bill with combat instead of mana. Connect for damage and it hatches an Incubator for free, turning what is normally a taxed unlock into a rider on aggression. That shifts the whole calculus of running Incubators alongside it. You can spend mana banking tokens early and let the evasive body cash them in on later turns, converting stored potential into board presence without ever holding up the flip cost. The design is careful about how much it gives away: it flips only one token per hit and only ones you already control, so it accelerates a plan you built rather than manufacturing bodies out of nothing. The evasion is the load-bearing part, since a ground creature that has to fight through blockers rarely gets its trigger, but a two-power flyer will connect against most boards early enough to matter. Attacking battles counts too, which folds the trigger into the siege-and-defend rhythm those permanents ask for. On its own it is a modest evasive beater; paired with a stockpile of dormant tokens, it becomes the release valve that turns a slow mechanic into tempo.
