Cloudblazer

The clean Azorius descendant of Mulldrifter, and the comparison is the whole frame for understanding it. Mulldrifter taught a generation that a two-card draw could come stapled to a flying body, paid for with an evoke clause that let you skip the creature entirely. This trades that flexibility for upside: no evoke, but the same flyer also gains you two life, splitting the value across both colors of its identity rather than living purely in blue. The result is a card that does not flex but does pay more when you commit to playing it straight. Five mana for a 2/2 flier is never the point; the body is a delivery mechanism, a way to attach card advantage and a small life buffer to something that can also chip in and block evasive threats. Its design logic is the recurrable-value creature: anything that flickers it, returns it, or copies its enters-the-battlefield trigger turns one underwhelming flyer into a repeatable draw-two engine, and the life gain compounds quietly alongside the cards. On its own it is a fair, slightly slow piece of value; in a deck built to abuse the trigger it becomes the kind of effect that refuels a stalled board and outlasts an opponent's resources. The two life is the easy part to overlook and the part that most distinguishes it from the blue originals it descends from.
