Skybound Spoils
Kitesail Larcenist brings a concise suite of utility and evasion to blue decks that want incremental value. The 2U cost buys a 2 3 flyer with ward {1}, making it an awkward removal target and a consistent aerial threat. When it enters the battlefield you get symmetrical loot for each player as you choose up to one other target artifact or creature they control and convert those permanents into Treasure artifacts with the ability to tap for one mana of any color while stripping other abilities.
In limited play the Larcenist doubles as a tempo piece and a late game safety valve for mana shortfalls. In constructed shells it finds a home where you want repeatable color fixing or to punish opponents who rely on key artifacts or creatures. The card reads like a short, practical heist; it does not change board presence but it repurposes pieces into immediate, convertible resources while remaining a flying body that matters.
