Stormwing Entity

Creature — Elemental3 generic manaBlue manaBlue mana

The whole card is a discount waiting to be paid off. Cast an instant or a sorcery earlier in the turn (a cantrip, a burn spell, a bounce spell) and the five-mana price collapses by three, leaving a 3/3 flier that scries 2 on the way down and swings for four the moment the next noncreature spell is cast. That conditional reduction is the entire design tension: at full cost it is a mediocre body, so the card only wants to exist in a deck already flooding the turn with cheap instants and sorceries, which is precisely the deck that turns prowess into a real clock. It rewards the spell-slinger for doing what they were going to do anyway, then bolts a flying evasion package on top so the pressure actually lands. The scry-2 trigger smooths the very draws that fuel the discount, tightening the loop between finding spells and casting the cheap threat those spells power up. Elemental tempo threats keyed to a spell-count trigger are a recurring blue idiom, but this one folds the payoff and the enabler-check into a single mana calculation: the reduction, the prowess, and the evasion all point at the same aggressive shell, and the card is close to inert outside it. That narrowness is deliberate. It is a reward printed for a strategy, not a card built to stand alone.
