Legendary Creature — Bird Soldier
Flying {1}{W}, Sacrifice Lieutenant Kirtar: Exile target attacking creature.
“Evasive removal engine that exiles attackers for just {1}{W}.”
Lieutenant Kirtar is a defensive flyer with a repeatable removal engine tucked into its sacrifice ability. Your game plan revolves around attacking safely in the air while using Kirtar's sacrifice outlet to exile problematic creatures, especially ones that threaten to overrun you or carry dangerous keywords. This works beautifully if you're building around token generation or other expendable creatures—you get to block, sacrifice disposable bodies, and exile threats all at once.
The deck wants a steady stream of creatures to fuel the sacrifice outlet while keeping the board manageable. You can lean into white's token generators (Young Rider, Second Sunrise effects) or create a modest grind-focused control deck that uses Kirtar as a repeatable answer to scary attackers. Winning happens through combat damage over time, turning Kirtar and its allies into an aerial clock while you've answered all the dangerous stuff.

Skip expensive planeswalkers and token lords; use free-to-cast creatures like Ornithopter and Thraben Watcher alongside basic white removal like Pacifism and Oblivion Ring.
