Soar with Kastral, the Windcrested
Kastral, the Windcrested embodies the spirit of aerial reconnaissance in the Bloomburrow set. As a Legendary Creature with the Bird Scout subtype, Kastral delivers consistent utility through its flying ability and triggers that reward aggressive avian tactics. For a casting cost of {3}{W}{U}, Kastral offers a sturdy 4/5 presence that can steadily enhance the strength of every Bird you command, turning your flock into an ever-growing threat. The card’s interaction with both your hand and graveyard allows for flexible reanimation of Bird creatures, making it a reliable engine for maintaining board presence.
Strategically, Kastral shines by providing a choice of effects whenever your Birds deal combat damage to a player. You can deploy a fresh Bird creature with a finality counter, bolster your existing Birds with +1/+1 counters, or draw a card to keep your options open. This versatility rewards careful timing and synergy, fitting neatly into control or midrange builds that lean on flying creatures. The borderless, raised foil design emphasizes the card’s finesse, making it a worthy addition for collectors and competitive players alike.
