Exile any number of creatures you control, then return them to the battlefield under their owner's control. Then repeat this process X more times.

Flying As long as this creature is untapped, creatures can't attack you or planeswalkers you control unless their controller pays 1 for each of those creatures. As long as this creature is attacking, creatures can't block unless their controller pays 1 for each of those creatures.

Ward 1 (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays 1.) 3W: This creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its toughness.

Flash Flying When this creature enters, exile target spell. It becomes plotted. (Its owner may cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost.) Spells your opponents cast from graveyards or from exile cost 2 more to cast.

Whenever this creature attacks while saddled, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control. You gain 1 life for each of those creatures. Saddle 2 (Tap any number of other creatures you control with total power 2 or more: This Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. Saddle only as a sorcery.)
