Roc Charger

Creature — Bird2 generic manaWhite mana

The wing-grant is the entire job, and it fires in exactly one direction: this Bird hands evasion to a grounded attacker every time it swings, but only while attacking and only to a creature already committed to the red zone. That timing is what disciplines the effect. You cannot bank the keyword to push a blocker through or to dodge sorcery-speed removal at leisure; the trigger lives entirely inside the declare-attackers step, so the ground-pounder you want airborne has to be attacking alongside it. Pair it with a fat trampler or a hexproof beater and the 1/3 stops reading as a body and starts reading as a delivery mechanism: it lifts a defender off the wall and shoves the real threat over the top. The 3 toughness matters more than the 1 power here, because the card wants to survive long enough to repeat the grant turn after turn. It has no ambitions in combat itself; the power is an afterthought, useful only for chipping in behind its own evasion and for holding the ground against small fliers on the turns it stays home. It belongs to the long line of low-power white evasion-enablers that ask you to build an attacker worth lifting: the flier is the tool, the creature it carries is the payoff.
