Migratory Route

Two spells wearing one card: pay full price to put four flyers on the board, or pay and pitch it to fetch a basic land. That second mode is why this earns a slot over a plain token-maker. A pure token spell is dead weight in a hand short on colors or stalled on lands it can grow into; here, discarding the card for still smooths the draw toward whatever basic your manabase is missing, so the situations where five mana is out of reach are exactly the ones the cycling clause repairs. It converts a top-end board commitment into an early fixing tool without asking you to run a second card for the privilege. The token half is deliberately plain: four 1/1 white flyers is a body count that wants a payoff (an anthem, a sacrifice engine, a go-wide finisher) rather than a play that stands on its own. The design logic lives in the spread of outcomes, not the ceiling. White and blue rarely get this kind of insurance stapled to wide board development, and the result asks almost nothing of your sequencing: cash in the tokens once you can afford them, dig for the basic when the count is short.
