Winged Shepherd

Nobody casts a 3/3 flier for six mana on purpose, and this card is designed around that fact. The body is overpriced by intent; the cycling cost is the whole point. For a single white mana you can pitch it early, when paying full freight would cost you a turn you cannot spare, and you actually hard-cast it late, when a flying, vigilant blocker that guards the air and still swings back earns its keep. This is common-rarity filler engineered so drawing it is never a wasted card. Early, it functions as a clean one-mana cantrip; late, it stabilizes as a body that does not leave your defense open when you attack. Vigilance is the quiet half of the equation, letting the Angel hold the ground it took rather than forcing the usual late-game choice between racing and blocking. The cycling cost is what makes the slot safe to run at all: a bad draw converts into a fresh card for one mana, a good one becomes a serviceable evasive threat, and the steep front-side price is what you pay to have both those outcomes riding on a single card. It is filler built so it never plays like filler, which is harder to pull off than the modest rate suggests.
