Echoes That Command the Sky
Council of Echoes is a practical choice for blue decks that want a late game flier with a disruptive entry. Council of Echoes arrives as a 4/4 Spirit Advisor with flying and a descend trigger that can bounce an opposing nonland permanent when the graveyard meets the threshold. In play it functions as both an aerial threat and a tempo piece you can use to reset a blocker or remove an artifact or enchantment from the battlefield.
On the table the card reads like a toolbox piece rather than a one trick. Council of Echoes slots into slower builds, graveyard centric decks, and control shells that value repeatable board interaction. Flavor nods to Ixalan lore appear in its echoing counsel and the Komon Winaq connection, which helps the card feel at home in sets that mix exploration with ritual memory.
