Flight of Fancy attaches to any creature to grant flying and draw you two cards — a meaningful body upgrade and immediate card advantage stapled together for four mana. It's a staple in Eriette, the Beguiler lists precisely because it pays for itself on entry while locking down an opponent's threat.

Eriette, the Beguiler
Eriette, the Beguiler drains opponents for each Aura you control, so Flight of Fancy pulling two fresh Auras into hand while taxing an opponent's creature is exactly the engine she wants running every game.

Flight of Fancy is a Commander card through and through — the two-card draw is most valuable in a 99-card singleton format where card advantage compounds over a long game. In Pauper it's technically legal but competes against more efficient Auras at common, so it sees almost no play there. Legacy and Vintage have zero interest in a four-mana Aura with no broken text. Commander, and specifically enchantress or Aura-matters builds, is the only home where Flight of Fancy is actually doing real work.
