Arcanum What Now?

Future Sight: A.K.A the Set With 'Goyf

Future Sight was a set full of oddballs. Riggers, Rebel Enchaments, and a serious case of keyword overload. Among several of the unique mechanics introduced with the set was this bad boy: Arcanum Wings. Not only is the artwork absolutely gorgeous, but it also has a lot of power, both as a 2 cost Fly spell, but a way to cheat Eldrazi Conscription into play faster than any old Sovereigns of Lost Alara. Sure we could cheeseball in any old, game-ending Aura, especially since the swap is uncounterable. However, I think there is a value to Arcanum wings in aggro as well as a Conscription-focused deck.

Flying is nothing to scoff at. If it gets over goyf, then that's a positive. Following up a one drop creature like Soldier of the Pantheon, Wild Natacl, or some other cost efficent beater with turn of flying then turning that flying into something even more devastating on turn three. Spectra Ward also comes to mind as a counter to any sort of removal that early on.
