Meneldor, Swift Savior

A blink engine welded to an evasion clock, and the wording distinguishes it from the flicker enablers that come cheaper. Most repeatable flicker lives on enters-the-battlefield loops or activated abilities you sink mana into; this one demands you connect in combat, which means the 3/3 flying body is not incidental, it is the delivery mechanism. Land a hit and you exile and return one creature you own, resetting its enters-the-battlefield trigger, wiping tap-down status, and refreshing counters or summoning-sickness math on whatever gets blinked. The "you own" phrasing is the quiet precision: it can retrieve something an opponent has taken via theft effects, snapping it back under your control the moment damage lands. The tension in the design is that the payload fires only when the Bird gets through, and it fires on its own schedule: this is a triggered ability keyed to combat damage, not an instant-speed rescue button, so it cannot answer a removal spell cast in response or save a creature already under fire. The value arrives forward-facing, a blink that follows every unblocked swing rather than one you reach for on demand. That gates the ceiling: no untap, no instant-speed protection, no loop you assemble at will. The reward is compounding rather than explosive. Each connection recovers a body's worth of enters-the-battlefield value for free, which in the right shell outpaces a one-shot flicker that charges mana every time.
