Flying
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Golden-Scale Aeronaut is a straightforward but useful common from March of the Machine that fits best in a white value or midrange-control shell, where its job is to stabilize the board while nudging combat math in your favor. A 2/3 flier for five mana is not flashy, but flying makes it a reliable evasive body, and backup 1 adds real texture: you can place the counter on itself to upgrade it to a sturdier attacker, or more often on a grounded creature that wants to swing in while gaining flying for the turn. That makes it especially good with cheap creatures that already have combat relevance, since the backup counter can turn an otherwise stalled board into a tempo swing. It also pairs nicely with +1/+1 counter payoffs and “enter the battlefield” synergies, where every body contributes to the board while keeping pressure in the air. In Limited, this is the kind of card that helps you win stalled games by steadily widening your threat base.
