Mesa Cavalier

Two power in the air for three mana, with a two-life cushion stapled to the entry: this is the workhorse white flier that fills out an aggressive curve without asking anything of the rest of the deck. The body carries it. Evasive beaters at this rate apply steady clock pressure, and the incidental life gain softens the mirror against decks trying to race back through the air. The trigger is a rider, not an engine; two points on entry does not reward a blink shell or a sacrifice loop, and nothing about the design wants to be recurred for value. It belongs to the long line of vanilla-plus white fliers that keep the color's evasive game stocked without warping it: a two-drop's aggression wearing a three-drop's cost, with just enough marginal upside to matter in a grind. Uncomplicated by intent, and honest about what it is.
