Ordered Migration

Domain rarely pays out this directly: most cards that count basic land types pour their tally into a single figure (extra damage on a burn spell, extra mana off a ritual), but here each type translates one-for-one into a flying body. In a two-color deck it typically nets two Birds, a fair-but-dull rate for five mana; the card was built to reward the kind of greedy mana base that early multicolor sets actively encouraged, where stretching across all five types turns this into a small air force. That is the tension the design plays with: a sorcery that is deliberately mediocre in the decks most likely to cast it on color, and quietly excellent in the ones willing to splash their lands wide to chase the ceiling. The reward scales with deckbuilding ambition rather than in-game decisions, which makes it a clean expression of what domain was for: paying you back, at resolution, for a manabase risk you committed to weeks before you ever drew the card. The Bird tokens themselves are incidental flavor (overlapping color factions reaching across a contested plane), but the structure is the point: a single spell whose value is set largely before it enters your hand, by how diverse you were willing to build.
