Legendary Creature — Bird Noble
Flying Whenever two or more creatures you control attack a player, target attacking creature without flying gains flying until end of turn.
He passed over Udûn and Gorgoroth and saw all the land in ruin and tumult beneath him, and before him Mount Doom blazing, pouring out its fire.
This legendary creature from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set offers an intriguing avenue for aggressive white-based strategies that reward you for attacking with multiple creatures. Landroval, Horizon Witness comes down as a four-mana 3/4 flyer, which is a reasonable rate for a flying body in the five color pie. The real power comes from its triggered ability that grants another attacking creature without flying an evasive boost whenever two or more of your creatures attack a player. This conditional flying grant transforms ground-based threats into immediate evasion threats, making it particularly valuable in token-heavy decks, go-wide strategies, and creature-focused white aggressive shells. In constructed formats, Landroval slots naturally into white weenie decks, token swarms, and Boros or Azorius tempo strategies where you're already generating multiple attacking creatures turn after turn. The card scales beautifully in multiplayer formats like Commander, where attacking with multiple creatures becomes far easier to achieve. Its versatility across Modern, Legacy, and Commander makes it an attractive include for players building around go-wide strategies, particularly those featuring token generation, small creature lords, or mass token producers. Whether you're playing aggressive mono-white, token-focused decks, or midrange creature strategies, Landroval provides meaningful evasion granting that helps your team slip past blockers and pressure opponents faster, making it a solid pickup for players seeking to enhance their creature-based deck strategies.
