Eagles of the North is a creature card with several abilities, making it a versatile addition to your deck:

• Flying: This keyword ability allows Eagles of the North to fly over the battlefield, making it unblockable by creatures without flying or reach.

• When Eagles of the North enters the battlefield, creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain first strike until end of turn: When you cast Eagles of the North, it grants a temporary power boost of +1 to all creatures you control, along with the first strike ability. First strike means that in combat, your creatures will deal their combat damage before creatures without first strike, often allowing them to eliminate opposing creatures without taking damage in return.

• Plainscycling {1}: This ability allows you to discard Eagles of the North and pay {1} to search your library for a Plains card, reveal it, and add it to your hand. Plainscycling is a useful way to fetch the specific type of land you need to ensure you have the right mana to cast your spells.

Overall, Eagles of the North can be a game-changing card, both as a flying creature and for its battlefield ability, giving your creatures a combat advantage. Additionally, the Plainscycling ability helps you with mana fixing in your deck, ensuring you have access to the right colors of mana when you need them.
