A 3/2 flier for four mana is French vanilla in the strictest sense: one keyword and nothing else, a body whose entire identity is the rate it offers. And the rate is deliberately steep, because the color paying it is the wrong one. Black has rarely been the color of cheap evasion; it grants flying through keyword-handout effects or buys it at the high end through demons and dragons, so an honest flier in the common slot pays a premium against what white or blue would charge for the same clock. The soft toughness is the tax for buying flight out of color: enough power to threaten a real clock, light enough that any reasonable removal or a larger flier trades up and ends it. What it offers is a finite evasive damage source for decks that want pressure in the air without bending their plan around it. The kind of fill a curve leans on when nothing better presents itself, not a card a deck is built toward.
