The Falcon, Airship Restored

The Falcon is a recursion engine disguised as a flying beater. Your main game plan is to crew it up with cheap creatures, swing in for 4 flying damage, then sacrifice it to reanimate something bigger from your graveyard—ideally a threat that was meant to be dumped there early. This repeating loop of attacks and reanimation turns your graveyard into a second hand, letting you rebuild threats turn after turn while The Falcon itself comes back for {4}{B} whenever you need it. You're essentially getting multiple bodies out of one card slot.

Win conditions revolve around grinding out value through creatures. You might swing with The Falcon while cheating in a heavy hitter like a reanimated creature, then protect it and attack again next turn. Alternatively, your small crewing creatures and reanimated threats pile on damage through evasion and board presence. The deck thrives on redundancy—with The Falcon returning from the graveyard, you're never really out of resources, and every attack triggers a fresh reanimation opportunity.

Build around discard outlets and creatures with high toughness for crewing. Include payoff creatures that benefit from the graveyard, like aristocrats that trigger on sacrifice or reanimator targets that leave a mark when they hit the battlefield. The pace is midrange: early crew creatures, mid-game loops, and late-game resilience.
