Coveted Falcon — Steal the Skies
Coveted Falcon moves like a tactical tool rather than a brute force creature. With flying and a low casting cost of {1}{U}{U}, it slots into tempo or control shells that want a repeatable way to disrupt board symmetry. The attack trigger lets you seize a permanent you own but do not control which creates subtle advantages in politics based formats or doubles as a short term recovery play when opponents steal your artifacts and enchantments.
The disguise mechanic adds a puzzle piece for blink strategies and face down synergies. Turn the Falcon face up to force an opponent to take any number of permanents you control then draw a card for each one they accepted. That exchange yields card advantage and board manipulation in a single interaction. Treat it as both a threat and an engine; use combat to bait control spells and then cash in the flip for value.
