Wingvern 6-059R is a versatile Wind Monster that features several options for synergy with existing cards. This card has a straightforward ability and purpose: deal with large Forwards under your opponent's control. Wind has several ways to interact with large Forwards already, but a majority of those interactions check CP cost instead of power. Additionally, it is important to note that Wingvern does not deal damage to a Forward in any way, rather it simply breaks the character. This makes it a sensible way for a "ping" deck to work around cards like Minwu 1-171H, as well as Aymeric 6-106H.

Wingvern is a very affordable card from a CP perspective, as it only costs 2 to play. His ability costs one Wind CP and one generic CP, for a total of 4 CP overall. This is a very good rate for removing a Forward of power 9000 or more, especially considering we can manage the CP consumption over several turns.

Wind Forwards often have a tough time matching up to other Forwards. The Wind element specifically is the only element that cannot benefit from two "anthem" effects, as all other elements can. Maria 1-083H can partner up with any other of the Opus 1 cycle backups to give an opponent's Forwards +2000 CP, whereas Wind Forwards do not have a Wind-specific booster. Wingvern helps balance this a bit, and potentially exploits an opponent who plays several anthem effects to overpower their Forwards.

To maximize Wingvern's value, we have a few options. First of all, he is a Category Type-o Character. This means that Rem 3-072R can offer us recursion around our Wingverns that may have already flown off with a big Forward, and are now in our Break Zone. Because Wingvern only costs 2 CP, he plays nicely with Gau 4-123. Wingvern's ability does not require us to dull the card in order to activate it, which means if we were able to animate him into a Forward, we could attack and still pop his ability in the same turn. That makes Relm 4-144H and Kefka 4-147H appealing options. With these considerations, we built a deck where Wingvern would feel right at home.
