Shiko Takes Flight
Shiko, Paragon of the Way is a compact engine as well as a flyer. This borderless Mythic from Tarkir Dragonstorm arrives with flying and vigilance, giving you an evasive attacker that can both pressure life totals and hold the line. When Shiko enters the battlefield you can exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard, copy it, and then cast that copy without paying its mana cost. That interaction rewards careful sequencing and graveyard planning more than raw mana advantage.
The card reads cleanly and performs predictably in midrange and control shells that use recursion. Its 4 5 body is sturdy enough to trade favorably with most two and three mana threats while leaving you resources to follow up. For players who pilot Tarkir themed decks or want a versatile legend that tutors value from the graveyard to the stack, Shiko offers a reliable toolkit. Add this Light Play borderless copy to a Commander sleeve or a collection and put its enter the battlefield effect to work.
