Plover Knights

The combination of flying and first strike on a single body is the textbook white evasive defender: it blocks ground attackers without trading and beats most fliers in the air clean, since first strike means it deals its damage before anything its own size can answer. The price for stacking two premium combat keywords is the rate. Five mana for a 3/3 is steep, the kind of body that looks underpowered the moment you measure it against what five mana buys elsewhere, and that gap is exactly what the design is paying for. This is a common-rarity Kithkin Knight built for an environment that wanted defensive air support and clean blocks more than raw stats, the sort of card meant to anchor a creature curve and police skies rather than win on its own. Outside that kind of context it reads as a fair-but-unremarkable beater, the very ordinary middle of a white aggro or midrange deck where the keywords matter more than the numbers attached to them.
