Favorable Winds

The flying anthem in its barest, most honest form: two mana for a static +1/+1 to every evasive creature you control, with no upkeep cost, no tribal restriction, and no condition to satisfy. That stripped-down framing is the whole appeal. Where most tribal lords gate their buff behind a creature type, this one cares only about a keyword, which lets it span Spirits, Faeries, Birds, Drakes, Pirates, and anything else that takes to the air without asking what color or clan it belongs to. The trade is that it pumps nothing on the ground and dies to any enchantment removal that wanders by, so it lives or dies with the board it is meant to amplify: drop it into a developed flock and it turns a row of 1/1 tokens into a clock that ends games quickly, but cast it on an empty battlefield and it sits there doing nothing until the creatures arrive. As a piece of design it sits in a long line of evasive-creature payoffs that reward going wide in the air rather than tall, and its appeal has always been the absence of fine print: it is the cheapest way to give a whole flying squad a permanent step up in size, and the only question it asks of a deckbuilder is whether enough of the team can fly to make the static effect earn its slot.
