Description
Wings Over the Cavern
Soaring Sandwing is a reliable midrange flyer that trades battlefield presence for card flexibility. The card name signals what it does at a glance. At {4}{W}{W} it enters as a 3 5 with Flying and a triggered life gain that helps stabilize against aggressive starts. The stat line and evasion let it push damage through while the life buffer makes it harder for small creatures to close out the game quickly.
The Plainscycling ability gives a functional avenue to improve consistency in decks that need mana or specific answers. Discarding Soaring Sandwing for two mana nets a Plains and smooths draws without wasting a draw step. Use it as a late game finisher or as a fuel piece to find target lands when you need to assemble a lock or hit a color. This card fits both casual and competitive shelling strategies in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan environment.
