Glide of the Cavern Mist
Mist Dancer is a compact airframe for tribal blue decks. At {4}{U} it presents a 3 3 body with flying and a simple anthem effect that turns a board of Merfolk into a harder to block formation. The printed ability reads cleanly and rewards committing to a creature base; in multiplayer Commander the extra evasion scales well when you already run lords and tempo plays.
The Encore clause gives the card late game relevance from the graveyard. For an investment of {5}{U}{U} you can flood opponents with token attackers that gain haste then vanish at the next end step. Play it where you expect multiple opponents or when you can leverage a single big swing to finish a player and keep the rest off balance. This is a practical pick for a Merfolk commander shell that values recurring pressure and aerial redundancy.
