Abigale, Eloquent First-Year

{W/B}{W/B}

Legendary Creature — Bird Bard

Flying, first strike, lifelink

When Abigale enters, up to one other target creature loses all abilities. Put a flying counter, a first strike counter, and a lifelink counter on that creature.

The right poem lifts more than spirits.
