Flavour text:
No True Angels Have Been Created Since the Founding of New Capenna, But Artisans Have Learned to Craft Elegant Facsimiles.
Artist: Volkan BAA

Strengths:

• Evasion: Flying Allows It To Evade Many Blockers.
• Scaling: Ability to get bigger about time, potentialy Becoming a sizable threat.
• Flexibility: Can be used in multi-color decks to gain a more permanent boost.

Weaknesses:

• Costly: A 2/2 for 4 Mana is below the curve, and the activation cost for its ability is also somewhat high.
• Conditional: Needs Exactly Three Colors of Mana For The Optimal Effect, which Restricts The Types of Decks It Fits Into.

DECK Considerations:

• Multi-Color decks: Most effective in a three-color deck that can consistently use its second ability to maximum effect.
• Artifact Synergies: Being an artifact creature, it benefits from cards that synergize with artifacts.
• +1/+1 counter strategies: Could fit in a deck that has other ways to put +1/ +1 counters on creatures.

Flavor and Art:

• Flavor: The Flavor Text Suggests That The Creature is not a "True" Angel But a Crafted One, which is an interesting take.
• Artist: Volkan Baa's Art would Likely Emphasize the Artificial Yet Majestic Nature of this Creature.

Overall impression:

Paragon of Modernity has the potential to Become a Substantial Threat if it can survive lung enough to benefit from its abilities. It fits best in Multi-Color decks that can take advantage of its optimum activation condition. Thought its initial stats are underwhelming for its cost, its ability to scale make it a card that opponents can't ignore for long.
