In normal Magic , we don't make our swingy cards as good as this
I understand that this is a one-of-a-kind card, and that surely makes it special
Its also a really interesting piece of Equipment in general, offering Aristocrats decks a number of bonuses in one
Combat feels really good and it feels a little less punishing than it did previously if you miss a block
If this wasnt good enough, even its main downside can be mitigated thanks to abilities like Proliferate and Time Travel
For a reasonable 3 mana cost, players can activate their Traveling Chocobo and use it to play any lands or other Chocobo/bird cards in their deck, provided they're in the top spot, potentially gaining a significant upper hand in either standard or commander game types
