I would put 'Art from Elements' until you find out which of the Spore artists made it, as I'm fairly certain it's not Zanz's art.

The name/theme/concept etc isn't the important part, we can always change that later. The main thing is fixing the ability to be balanced and effective in its purpose.

I agree that this card is too limited in its current form, but I think expanding it to all airborne creatures is too OP, it will weaken all shields in the game, and it doesn't really fit the theme I had in mind (indirect PC for Air).

Here are my thoughts:
The ability "All non-dragon airborne creatures ignore shields" may be more reasonable.
However, now that I think about it, potentially giving momentum to whole fields of creatures may be OP and I do not want to undermine entire decks such as RoL/Hope. However I DO want to weaken decks like Mono Aether. (The difference here is that Hope is Immaterial and is not used as often). I will change this card accordingly when I think of a better ability.

could adjust it to all airborne creatures having a chance to ignore shields, just spitballing and dont have a theme to justify it, or a balanced %/cost

Theme: The sky is a larger surface area. A shield might not be covering the right area.

So something like creatures in these X slots, like how flooding is worded?

No.
Imagine a dome around your enemy describing where creatures can start their attack.

Against grounded creatures the enemy knows where to put the shield. Against airborne it becomes tougher.
