Oracle Text
Flying
When this creature enters, return target permanent to its owner's hand.
Suspend 3—{1}{U} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay {1}{U} and exile it with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)

Character Background
Riftwing Cloudskate is a classic tempo tool, pairing a modest 2/2 flying body with an enter-the-battlefield bounce effect that can reset an opposing blocker, tempo out a key permanent, or even save one of your own pieces from removal. Its best home is in blue-based tempo and control decks, where every turn gained matters and a delayed threat still pressures life totals while disrupting the board. The suspend ability is especially strong for smoothing out early turns: pay {1}{U} on turn two, and later you get a hasty flyer plus a bounce spell stapled to it, often creating a swing turn that breaks parity. It also plays well with blink or recursion effects, since reusing the ETB can generate repeated card advantage through tempo. In decks that care about time counters or cheap evasive threats, Cloudskate becomes both a mana-efficient answer and a clock, which is exactly what blue tempo wants.
