Flying
Whenever King of the Oathbreakers or another Spirit you control becomes the target of a spell, it phases out. (Treat it and anything attached to it as though they don't exist until your next turn.)

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Provides a level of protection for itself and other Spirits by phasing out when targeted.
  • Flying makes it more evasive.
  • Generates additional Spirit tokens, which can synergize with other Spirit tribal strategies.
• Weaknesses:
  • Phasing out makes the creature temporarily unavailable for combat or other interactions.
  • Specific tribal focus (Spirits) may not fit all decks.

Deck Utility:

• Orzhov Spirits or Spirit Tribal Decks: A strong fit for decks built around the Spirit creature type.

• Control Decks: Offers defensive capabilities while providing a flying threat.

• Token Generating Decks: Can produce additional creature tokens, providing synergy with cards that benefit from a large number of creatures.

Interactions and Combos:

• Rattlechains or Drogskol Captain: Provide additional benefits to Spirits, like hexproof or flash, which would synergize well with this card.

• Teferi's Protection: Phasing is a rare mechanic; using this card with other cards that phase can add a layer of strategy.

• Anointed Procession: This card would double the number of Spirit tokens generated, significantly increasing your board presence.

King of the Oathbreakers offers a unique blend of offense and defense, suitable for Spirit tribal decks or control strategies. Its phasing ability makes it tricky for opponents to remove, while its token-generating ability allows for a progressively stronger board state.
