Akroan Skyguard — Aerial Vanguard
Akroan Skyguard is a compact, efficient one drop that turns targeted support into board presence. As a 1 mana and one white mana creature with flying, it trades well in air combat and rewards decks that layer spells on their own creatures. In Foundations Jumpstart this Near Mint English copy fits straight into classic heroic builds and budget white aggro lists, offering consistent upside when you cast spells that target it.
The printed ability reads Heroic and converts targeted spells into growth by placing a +1/+1 counter on Akroan Skyguard each time it is targeted. That interaction makes it a reliable early threat that scales with pump spells, combat tricks, and aura support. Practical and predictable, this Skyguard pairs cleanly with combat tricks and equipment, and slots well as an evasive chump blocker that can snowball into a real threat. Add it to your deck and start banking incremental advantage each turn.
