The Legend of Yangchen // Avatar Yangchen

Enchantment — Saga // Legendary Creature — Avatar

Three chapters that each interrogate a different resource, and the symmetry keeps resolving in your favor because you always move first. Chapter I is a group exile keyed to mana value three or greater: each player may nominate one permanent from among those your opponents control, and the whole pile leaves at once, a Council's Judgment where you seed the first pick and the rest of the table gets to pile on. Chapter II is a Wheel-adjacent draw with the "may" clause on your side, not theirs; you alone decide whether an opponent gets three cards in exchange for banking three of your own. Chapter III is what the Saga is priced around: rather than falling off, it flips into a flyer whose engine wants the exact double-spell tempo the earlier chapters bought you time to build. Airbend is the mechanic carrying the second half. It is tempo confiscation with a rebate: the exiled permanent's owner can recast it for two generic, so you are not stripping the card, you are taxing it and resetting its timing. The enters-the-battlefield engine has to pay to re-arrive; the aura falls off; the attacker misses a swing. Cast your second spell each turn and a one-shot interaction becomes a recurring soft-lock on whatever the opponent most wants online. Both faces argue the same thesis: do not destroy the opponent's permanents, control when they get to use them.

Rules text

(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter.) I — Starting with you, each player chooses up to one permanent with mana value 3 or greater from among permanents your opponents control. Exile those permanents. II — You may have target opponent draw three cards. If you do, draw three cards. III — Exile this Saga, then return it to the battlefield transformed under your control. // Flying Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, airbend up to one other target nonland permanent. (Exile it. While it's exiled, its owner may cast it for 2 generic mana rather than its mana cost.)
