Watchwing Scarecrow

Artifact Creature — Scarecrow4 generic mana

An artifact body that nonetheless reads as Azorius: it grants itself vigilance under a white creature and flying under a blue one. The trick is the type line. Being colorless, it slots into any deck while still rewarding the white-blue pairing it was clearly tuned for, a way to hand a guild-flavored bonus to a creature that technically belongs to no guild. A 2/4 is already an awkward attacker and a fine blocker, so vigilance and flying point it in opposite directions: hold the ground or take the air, with both available only once you assemble both colors. The conditional keywords are what you pay for that flexibility; control neither color and the card sits there as a four-mana wall doing the bare minimum. It is a clean piece of color-matters-through-artifacts design, a way to distribute two-color rewards without printing two-color cards, and the Scarecrow type ties the idea to a recurring artifact-creature theme that runs through this era of design.
