Flying

Flying is a evasion ability that makes creatures without flying unable to block creatures with flying. It has been in Magic since the original Alpha set. Flying is scattered wildly on the color wheel, also because it is a very popular keyword printed on over 900 cards. It is, however, mostly used on blue cards.
