Skyward Grower
Angelic Cub is a compact threat that rewards interaction. Castable for {1}{W}, this 1 1 Cat Angel wants to be targeted; the first spell or ability each turn to point at it places a +1/+1 counter. That incremental growth turns a fragile body into a reliable threat over a few turns and gives you a tempo edge in both limited and casual formats. The art shows a small winged feline perched among clouds which fits the card's gameplay of modest beginnings leading to aerial presence.
Play it as an early blocker that scales into a flier once it has three or more +1/+1 counters. It pairs cleanly with single target buffs and protective spells, and it also pressures opponents to choose their removal carefully because each attempt can accelerate its development. For players who build around counters or want a low cost creature that can suddenly close out the air lane, Angelic Cub is a straightforward, efficient inclusion.
