Appa, Loyal Sky Bison
{4}{W}{W}
Legendary Creature — Bison Ally
Oracle Text
Flying
Whenever Appa enters or attacks, choose one —
• Target creature you control gains flying until end of turn.
• Airbend another target nonland permanent you control. (Exile it. While it's exiled, its owner may cast it for {2} rather than its mana cost.)
Watch Out
ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
