Shiko, Skyward Paragon
Shiko, Paragon of the Way arrives as a borderless mythic that rewards careful sequencing and graveyard investment. The card reads like a toolbox for value; with flying and vigilance it stands as both a blocker and an aerial threat, while its enter the battlefield trigger lets you exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard, copy it, and cast that copy without paying its mana cost. This makes Shiko ideal in decks that fill the yard with cheap, high-impact spells or utility creatures you want to replay on demand.
Played by someone who understands timing, Shiko offers repeatable tempo swings and toolbox answers across blue red white strategies. The borderless art emphasizes the dragon’s calm authority and fits well in Commander and Pioneer brews that value resilient, reusable effects. If you keep a tight curve and a plan for your graveyard, Shiko converts attrition into card advantage. Add this Near Mint piece to your collection or deck and test its synergy in your next game.
