Appa, Loyal Sky Bison
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Flying

• 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.)

Rulings
5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2025-10-02
Lands exiled this way cannot be played from exile. (Lands that were animated by earthbend will be returned to the battlefield tapped when they're exiled.)
- 2025-10-02
Tokens exiled this way will cease to exist and cannot be cast.
- 2025-10-02
To airbend one or more permanents and/or spells means to exile each of those objects. For each card exiled this way, for as long as it's exiled, its owner may cast it from exile by paying 2 rather than paying its mana cost.
- 2025-10-02
If the spell you cast has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
- 2025-10-02
Since you are using an alternative cost to cast a spell from exile this way, you can't pay any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
