Leonin Skyhunter is a two-mana 2/2 flier — a clean, efficient body that punches above its cost in any Cat-tribal shell that wants evasion on the board early. Arahbo, the First Fang turns it into a genuine threat by stacking power boosts onto a creature that was already going to connect.

Arahbo, the First Fang
Arahbo, the First Fang wants Cats that can reliably get damage through, and Leonin Skyhunter's built-in flying means those eminence and attack triggers aren't wasted on a ground-stalled board.

In Commander, Leonin Skyhunter earns its seat almost exclusively in Cat-tribal builds — Arahbo, the First Fang chief among them — where evasion matters more than raw stats. Outside tribal, a vanilla 2/2 flier at two mana is below the bar for a 100-card singleton format. In Pauper it's more interesting, where common-slot fliers at this rate see genuine play in white aggro and skies strategies. Modern and Pioneer have long outpaced it with more efficient options, and Legacy has no use for it at all.
