Voiceless Spirit

Two power split across flying and first strike means this 2/1 eats the early aggressors of its own size before they ever land a hit: a 2/2 ground attacker or another 2/1 flier dies in the first-strike step while this one walks away clean. The ceiling is honest, though. First strike only wins the trade when two damage is enough to kill what it faces, so anything with three or more toughness survives the swing and answers it the next step. That hard cap is what holds it at common-rarity beater rather than an evasive workhorse you build around. The role is narrow and legible: a cheap white flier for a creature deck that wants to push through the air, hold a defensive line against same-size ground threats, and turn any combat buff into a one-sided exchange, since first strike means every point of power lands first. It carries a Spirit tag for tribal shells that care about that, but the body asks for nothing exotic in return. There is no surprise here and none was intended; the card is combat insurance whose entire value lives in how first strike rewrites which trades it wins and, just as importantly, which it does not.
