Flying
Inklings can't attack you or planeswalkers you control.
Whenever a player attacks one of your opponents, that attacking player creates a tapped 2/1 white and black Inkling creature token with flying that's attacking that opponent.

Character Background
Combat Calligrapher is a classic political value engine for Commander decks that want to lean into control and table-shaping rather than pure aggression. A 3/3 flier for four mana is serviceable, but the real strength is how it turns combat across the table into a resource you help direct: every time a player swings at someone else, they get a tapped 2/1 Inkling, which accelerates the game and quietly rewards opponents for attacking away from you. At the same time, your own side is protected from those Inkling swarms, making it a strong deterrent against incidental chip damage. It fits especially well in pillow-fort, group-slug, or token-based politics shells, and it pairs nicely with effects that force attacks, such as Ghostly Prison-style incentives, Kardur, Doomscourge, or goad cards, because you can flood the board while staying relatively safe. If you can profit from evasive tokens, anthem effects, or sacrifice outlets, this bird cleric becomes a surprisingly potent engine.
