Flying
When this creature enters, create a 1/1 blue and red Elemental creature token.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Preening Champion is a tidy little value flyer that fits best in tempo and midrange shells, where it can chip in early while leaving behind extra board presence. A 2/2 flying body for three mana is already serviceable, and the 1/1 blue and red Elemental token makes it feel closer to a two-for-one than a simple evasive attacker. In March of the Machine, the Bird Knight’s polished, self-assured flavor reads like a battlefield duelist arriving with a coterie of elemental fanfare, but on the table the real strength is efficiency: you get immediate pressure and a second creature for sacrifice, convoke, or go-wide synergies. It pairs especially well with cards that reward tokens entering, anthem effects, or blink/bounce tricks that can reuse the enter-the-battlefield trigger if your deck can support them. In a blue-red deck, it helps stabilize the board while advancing damage, making it a strong common for aggressive tempo builds that still want staying power.
