Kellan, the Kid — Skybound Trickster
Kellan, the Kid rewards a play style that bends the stack and rewrites tempo. This legendary creature comes with Flying and lifelink which let it pressure planes and stabilize life totals while you set up bigger plays. The key is its triggered ability that cares about spells cast from outside your hand; it turns off board interaction into card advantage by letting you cast a permanent from hand for free or by cheating a land into play when you choose not to. Use it in midrange or control shells that cast spells from exile or graveyard to generate value every time you turn a corner.
Long term, Kellan, the Kid shapes games through resource conversion. Experienced pilots will sequence spells to maximize the trigger, casting from other zones after a spell or effect and following with a high impact permanent. The card reads like a toolkit for value decks that want to swap card advantage for immediate board presence while keeping a steady life buffer thanks to lifelink. The flavor fits Outlaws of Thunder Junction with a cunning faerie rogue who prefers a calculated reveal over a brawl.
