Appa, Steadfast Guardian and All the White Cards from Avatar: The Last Airbender
Appa, Steadfast Guardian is Like an Airbending Restoration Angel
Appa, Steadfast Guardian is kind of like a Restoration Angel… It has the same casting most more-or-less, and a similar ability. Only on steroids!
Instead of “Blinking” only one creature you can airbend as many as you want. And not just creatures! You can exile any number of permanents. Incoming Wrath of God or Day of Judgment effect? Appa can save your whole team and let you get them all back at a discount. Obviously you’re going to be playing lots of cards with “enters” / 187 abilities, and Appa is going to set those [back] up for you. For two.
Actually… It’s Like ALL the White Cards…
Well maybe not ALL of them.
But a shocking amount of this color from Avatar: The Last Airbender seems really good, or at least playable.
Take Aang’s Iceberg for instance:
This card has a lot of Banishing Light or Oblivion Ring DNA… But at instant speed! Not only that, but you might actually want to target your own creature.
Imagine the dastardly opponent has targeted your poor creature with removal. You can Aang’s Iceberg to save it; and then use the waterbending ability later to not only get it back, but scry 2 while you’re at it. But mostly this is an instant speed Oblivion Ring for the cost of an Oblivion Ring and that should be more than good enough for Standard play.
Lots of Lessons are great. Tons of synergy. You’ll really be excited for airbending. This goes on for like two hours. ALL the white cards! (and we’re just getting started)
Give white a listen, and get ready for Blue!
