Skyborne Rescue: Sunpearl Kirin
Sunpearl Kirin is a compact and flexible white creature from Tarkir Dragonstorm that rewards timing and careful sequencing. As a 2 1 with flash and flying it can appear on an opponent's attack step to save a key permanent or to reset a value engine. In multiplayer or token strategies the enter the battlefield trigger gives utility beyond tempo; returning a permanent to your hand can buy another activation, bounce an opposing effect attached to your card, or untap a creature by replaying it.
The light play foil presents attractive light play surface wear while keeping the art and foil effect clear. Players who build control shells or blink synergies will appreciate Sunpearl Kirin's ability to enable additional enters the battlefield interactions and occasionally convert a bounced token into card advantage. Add this uncommon kirin to a White or Azorius list for a low cost play that smooths lines and protects critical pieces. Pick up this foil if you want a practical white tempo tool with subtle synergy in creature based decks.
