Rationale
2cmc 1/1 bird bard with flying, first strike, lifelink. ETB removal: target creature loses all abilities and gets flying/first strike/lifelink counters—a hybrid of creature removal and lord effect. Signature in control/midrange as a tempo creature that answers threats while scaling with flying/evasion. Limited constructed viability due to pip-heavy mana ({W/B}{W/B}), tribal density requirement, and removal-magnet profile; fringe tier outside dedicated bird or esper-control shells.
