Wind Strider — Quick Skyborne Merfolk
Wind Strider is a compact answer on two fronts. It arrives with flash so you can hold up countermagic or surprise a blocker at instant speed and it has flying to pressure planeswalkers or slip past ground defenders. As a three three for five mana that includes one blue, it fits into midrange blue decks that value tempo and flexible timing more than raw early power.
This Foundations Jumpstart printing captures the card's role in draft and constructed play. Wind Strider often buys you a turn or two where you need to protect a combo piece or steal combat advantage. The art emphasizes currents in sea and sky which matches the creature type and flavor. If your deck wants evasive bodies that interact well with priority decisions, Wind Strider is a straightforward inclusion. Add it to lists that want a reliable flying threat with the safety of instant timing.
