pidgey full art pokemon card - 207/197 - Obsidian Flames - Illustration Rare Lx2 / F Pokemon Pidgey Acrylic Card –

But thats not the only reason it never saw broad use

It allows creatures to deal damage first without taking damage themselves

If you're in a Bird Kindred deck you likely won't need this, but it can help your occasional non-flying creature get some damage in

generating tokens and stacking death triggers to get lots of value out of Prossh, Skyraider of Kher

I also love Reckless Barbarian as a 2/2 for two mana that you can cash in later for two red mana to help you cast a more expensive Dragon, and Patron of the Arts isnt bad either as an early blocker that can provide color-fixing mana in Treasures

Tokens can still die while Leyline of the Void is on the battlefield
