Monastery Flock, Creature — bird, designed by John Avon first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir.
This Monastery Flock card would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on stalling the game and protecting your life total, thanks to its Defender ability. The flying ability also provides a way to block opposing creatures with flying. While Monastery Flock is a decent card for early defense, there are better options available in the Magic: The Gathering card pool for similar mana costs that offer more impactful abilities or synergies with specific strategies. Overall, whether or not Monastery Flock should see play would depend on the specific deck's game plan and available card options.

A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren’t affected.

Any time you have priority, you may turn the face-down creature face up by revealing what its morph cost is and paying that cost. This is a special action. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to. Only a face-down permanent can be turned face up this way; a face-down spell cannot.

If an attacking face-down Monastery Flock is turned face up, it will continue to be attacking even though it will have defender. If it’s turned face up before blockers are declared, then creatures without flying or reach won’t be able to block it.

The face-down spell has no mana cost and has a converted mana cost of 0. When you cast a face-down spell, put it on the stack face down so no other player knows what it is, and pay . This is an alternative cost.

You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can easily be differentiated from each other. You’re not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield in order to confuse other players. The order they entered the battlefield should remain clear. Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.
