Riftwing Cloudskate⁣ - Time Spiral⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [73]

Riftwing Cloudskate is a 2/2 creature with flying, meaning it can evade most ground-based blockers. When you cast it, you can return any permanent—like a creature or enchantment—back to its owner's hand, which can disrupt your opponent's strategy or remove a blocker for your attacking creatures. Alternatively, you can use its suspend ability, paying {1}{U} to exile it with three time counters; it will then automatically return to the battlefield after three turns, giving you a surprise flying attacker with haste while letting you use your mana for other plays in the meantime. This card is useful for controlling the board and can create tempo advantages by forcing your opponent to replay permanents. However, its higher mana cost means it might be slow to deploy, particularly in fast-paced games, and if you suspend it, you won't have access to it for several turns, which could leave you vulnerable if your board state needs immediate reinforcement.
