Falcon of Ill-Gotten Gains
Coveted Falcon brings a compact but disruptive angle to control and blink strategies. The creature trades tempo for leverage. With flying and a 1 4 body, it trades damage for board presence while its attack trigger lets you seize a permanent you own but do not control. That interaction rewards planning around attachments, auras, and equipment or effects that change controller to create value on attack steps.
The disguise and flip trigger introduce a second mode. When Coveted Falcon is turned face up an opponent can take any number of target permanents you control and you draw one card for each permanent they gained this way. Use that exchange to convert temporary losses into card advantage or to bait unfavorable blocks. Practical players will slot it where recurring control or flicker effects make the exchange profitable and predictable.
