Sorcery
Destroy target tapped creature. You gain 1 life for each creature you control with flying.
"Oh, you must be mistaken. Hawks are solitary hunters, you see."
—Bunder Diedreck, ornithologistAerial Assault
Artwork unavailable- wotc
If any creatures were exiled "until" the target creature left the battlefield, those creatures will return before you gain life.
- wotc
If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Aerial Assault tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You won't gain life. If the target is legal but is not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you will gain life.
- wotc
Any abilities that trigger as the target creature is destroyed won't resolve until after you've gained life.
