Skybound Schemer

Kitesail Larcenist rewards timing and table awareness. The 2/3 Human Pirate arrives with Flying and ward 1 which protects it from small removal tricks. When Kitesail Larcenist enters the battlefield it forces a choice from each player up to one other target artifact or creature they control. Those permanents then become Treasure artifacts that tap for one mana of any color and lose their other abilities while Kitesail Larcenist stays on the battlefield. That conversion can disrupt opponents and enable your own mana lines.

This extended art foil in light play condition brings a playable tool and a boardlevel threat that fits control and blink decks as well as pirates and treasure synergies. Use Kitesail Larcenist to neuter key blockers or to turn your own utility pieces into flexible mana sources. It reads cleanly in a playtest and scales into longer games where repeated value and evasive pressure matter.
