Magic the gathering (Island) Preening Champion #0073 - March of the Machine - MTG Card (English) Common

Preening Champion is a Common blue Creature — Bird Knight from Magic: The Gathering — March of the Machine. This 2/2 flying creature brings additional battlefield value with its enter-the-battlefield ability, creating a 1/1 blue and red Elemental creature token.

For just three mana, Preening Champion provides two creatures instead of one, giving you an immediate advantage in creature count. Its Flying ability also makes it a useful evasive attacker, while the Elemental token can contribute to combat, defence or creature-based strategies.

Preening Champion is a practical choice for blue decks that benefit from token generation, flying creatures and efficient battlefield development. It is particularly useful in Limited formats and budget-friendly casual decks.
