The Falcon, Airship Restored is a massive flying Vehicle that attacks for 8 in the air the turn it's crewed — the problem is it costs nine mana to cast and demands a pilot with power 4 or greater to crew it. Greasefang, Okiba Boss sidesteps the casting cost entirely by reanimating it from the graveyard, which is the only context where The Falcon, Airship Restored is genuinely dangerous.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Greasefang, Okiba Boss
Greasefang, Okiba Boss reanimates The Falcon, Airship Restored directly from the graveyard at the start of combat, turning a nine-mana do-nothing into an 8-power flying attacker on turn three or four — that's the whole game plan.
Terra, Herald of Hope
Terra, Herald of Hope wants large, high-power permanents to trigger her lifegain and attack triggers, and The Falcon, Airship Restored's 8/5 flying body is exactly the kind of threat she wants in play to close games quickly.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
The Falcon, Airship Restored is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but the only format where it sees real play is Commander — specifically Greasefang, Okiba Boss decks that treat the graveyard as a free casting zone. In Legacy and Vintage, nine mana for a Vehicle is unplayable on rate; those formats have no reanimator engine that wants this over cheaper, more consistent targets. In Commander, outside of dedicated Vehicle or reanimator builds, the card sits on the bench — nine mana is a steep ask in a 40-life format where board wipes reset the game before you untap with it.

Price Context
Current price
$0.28 bulk tier
At $0.28, The Falcon, Airship Restored is bulk, which accurately reflects its narrow appeal outside a single commander archetype. Bulk rares with one-deck homes rarely climb unless that deck becomes a breakout build, so don't expect The Falcon, Airship Restored to move much.
