Shiko, Skybound Paragon
Shiko, Paragon of the Way is a focused tool for decks that value efficient recursion and tempo. As a near mint foil mythic from Tarkir Dragonstorm this Legendary Creature brings flying and vigilance alongside an enter the battlefield trigger that exiles a nonland card with mana value three or less from your graveyard then creates a castable copy. That interaction translates into free value that can repopulate your board with creatures or replay key utility permanents while leaving Shiko ready to both block and pressure with a four five body.
The card rewards careful graveyard sequencing and planning. In limited play or Commander cast Shiko to recover a one shot engine or to refuel a tempo line without paying mana for the copy. The foil finish and mythic rarity make this a desirable pick for collectors and players who want a reliable midrange finisher that doubles as a toolbox retriever. Add Shiko to your deck and vault back the small pieces your strategy depends on then turn them immediately into board presence.
