Whalebone Glider

The power-3-or-less clause is the entire balancing act, and it is calibrated to a single job: ferrying small bodies over a ground stall rather than escorting a finisher to an unblocked alpha strike. A flying anthem with no ceiling would simply hand any fatty a free win; capping the target at power 3 keeps the Glider doing the work its name suggests, a workhorse that pushes weenies past blockers turn after turn. Because the evasion comes from an activated ability, it lives at instant speed, and that window is where the card rewards careful play: granting flying before your opponent declares blockers, or during their turn to dodge a ground wall, accomplishes something that the same activation after blocks are locked cannot. The card teaches timing discipline as much as board math. As a colorless artifact, it crosses color lines without asking a deck to spend a slot on evasion, which is the quiet utility its era leaned on: any small-creature build could bolt this on. It is modest by intent, a low-rarity engine that decides a board state through repetition rather than one dramatic swing, the kind of attrition tool that wins a stalled ground game one over-the-top weenie at a time.
