Coveted Falcon — Steal the Sky
Coveted Falcon is a compact utility flyer that rewards timing and board choreography. As an artifact creature with Flying, it slips past blockers while its attack trigger lets you gain control of a permanent you own but do not control. That phrasing looks odd until you parse it. It excels in blink loops and control-reversal plays where you temporarily lose ownership then reclaim it on attack to flip tempo back in your favor.
Disguise makes the Falcon a flexible face down threat that can be revealed when the board state favors a sweep or a big exchange. When turned face up the reveal forces an opponent to claim any number of your permanents while you draw for each one taken. Use this to bait unfavorable trades or to convert stolen tempo into card advantage. Coveted Falcon fits into artifact centered decks and blue control shells that plan around ownership and timing rather than raw power.
