A-Goma Fada Vanguard

Creature — Human Warrior1 generic manaRed mana

This is the Arena Rebalanced version of Goma Fada Vanguard, tuned for a tribal-plus-Equipment shell where the payoff scales with a board you were already building. The evasion clause is unusual in its bookkeeping: it doesn't grant menace or flying, it removes a single blocker, and the size of the creature it can strip is gated by your Warrior and Equipment count. That makes it a threat-assessment tool rather than a raw evasion enabler. Early, it can only pull a small chump aside; as the aggro deck develops its board, the same trigger starts unblocking against progressively larger creatures, which is exactly when you most need a clean attack to close. The design ties the attack trigger's reach to the same resources that make an Equipment-Warrior deck function, so the card rewards the direction you were headed instead of asking for a detour. On a 2/2 body for two, the rate is modest by itself; the ability is doing all the strategic lifting, and it only lifts if the surrounding board cooperates. That conditionality is the whole point of the rebalance: a scaling piece of targeted evasion that stays honest early and becomes a real problem for the defending player once the count climbs.
