Skywarden Scout
Harrier Strix is a compact tempo piece from Outlaws of Thunder Junction that does what blue does best. Casting this {U} one drop gives you a flying 1 1 that immediately can lock down an opposing threat when it enters the battlefield by tapping a target permanent. It slots into early turns to buy time for a controlling plan or to push evasive damage while you find answers.
The Strix also offers a late game role with its activated ability for {2}{U} which reads draw a card then discard a card. That trade fuels card selection and graveyard synergies while keeping the deck tight. From a lore angle this bird scouts stormcarved ridges and returns with information rather than loot. Practical, efficient, and familiar to players who value incremental advantage.
