A 2/5 flyer for five mana is the kind of body defensive decks have always quietly leaned on: a blocker that happens to fly, a wall that pressures the air rather than just holding the ground. The five toughness is the whole point. It clears the range of red burn and ground attackers that would trade with anything smaller, and it survives most early flyers it sits across from, so the two power on the back of it eventually chips a clock that the opponent cannot profitably block. This is the defensive end of the flying spectrum, the inverse of the cheap evasive beater: it wins races by refusing to lose them, attacking when it is safe and walling when it is not. Nothing on the card asks for more than that. It is the piece that keeps a slow blue deck from drowning to early aggression, a stabilizer that turns into a finisher once the board stalls.
