In-tri-guing. "Low-flying". Not an idea I've seen before.

Be aware though that even without that ability, this has very aggressive stats. Normally blue gets a common 2/1 flyer for 3, and white gets a common 2/2 flyer for 3, both with some minor ability. Black occasionally gets a 2/1 vanilla flyer, but never better; red and green don't get that. 2-power artifact flyers are always 4 mana or greater.

Yeah, stats are mostly a guesstimation.

I currently have Welkin Tern slotted in blue, though that's mostly an approximation of what I'd like in there.

If I keep a Ternish creature in that slot, some differentiation would be important here, but for the moment this is a riff on Aesthir Glider.

Whee! Mashup: the Gathering randomly selected this card on Multiverse, and now it's one half the inspiration for the card Celestial Glider!

Faaaaaantastic!

This has been playing great in limited playtesting. Really helps some of the durdle-Delve decks keep pace with U/W Fliers and other aggressive builds, while also putting cards in the graveyard for Delving.

Unsurprisingly, so-called "Low-flying" is awfully relevant when you refuse to put reach on more than one common. But Dune Recluse has your back.
