Wield the Windshield
Aegis Sculptor from Tarkir Dragonstorm is a compact blue flier that scales into the late game. The card reads like a utility clock for tempo decks: a four mana 2 3 with Flying and Ward 2 that demands opponents pay to remove it or lose their targeting. The art shows a feathered wizard shaping rotating shields of air, a visual cue that this creature is built to survive disruption and chip in while you set up the graveyard.
On each upkeep you can exile two cards from your graveyard to put a +1 +1 counter on Aegis Sculptor, a steady avenue to growth that rewards careful graveyard management. Use it as an evasive threat that levels up through recursion or as a warded blocker that taxes removal; either way the card plays well in control shell lists and blink or self mill strategies. Add this Near Mint English print to a Tarkir Dragonstorm collection or a blue midrange list to gain a persistent, interactive presence on the battlefield.
