Leap for the Sky
Acrobatic Leap is a compact combat trick that pushes tempo without costing a turn. Acrobatic Leap grants the targeted creature +1/+3 and flying until end of turn and untaps it. Play it in response to a block, to dodge removal that targets tapped attackers, or to turn a marginal attacker into a surprise air threat. The small boost to toughness matters more than the raw power shift because it changes trade math and keeps your attacker alive through incidental damage.
In the Lost Caverns of Ixalan environment, Acrobatic Leap fits into aggressive white lists and light control shells that want efficient instant speed interactions. It pairs well with creatures that have enter the battlefield triggers or with equipment that benefits from additional attacks. The card reads simply but the decisions around timing and target selection are what separate casual plays from tight tournament lines.
