Elspeth Takes to the Skies
Elspeth, Storm Slayer from Tarkir Dragonstorm is a planeswalker built around token doubling and aerial superiority. Playing this Mythic from a Light Play copy gives you access to a reliable loyalty engine at cost {3}{W}{W}. Her +1 creates a 1 1 white Soldier token which immediately benefits from the static doubling effect. That interaction produces rapid board presence and invites straightforward token synergies or anthem effects to leverage while she sits on the battlefield.
The 0 ability distributes +1/+1 counters across your creatures and grants flying until your next turn which converts a token swarm into a lethal air force. The minus three provides efficient removal against larger threats by destroying a creature an opponent controls with mana value 3 or greater. This card reads cleanly in decks that value tokens, battlefield parity, and incremental advantage. Pick up this Light Play Mythic to shore up your midrange or token archetype and add a dependable planeswalker that shifts tempo and answers big threats. Add it to your deck today to start converting tokens into wins.
