A-Prosperous Thief

Creature — Human Ninja2 generic manaBlue mana

The "A-" prefix marks an Alchemy rebalance, and the interesting question about any digital rebalance is what it left intact. The combat-damage trigger is the engine: whenever one or more of your Ninjas or Rogues connect, you mint a Treasure. The "one or more" clause caps that at a single token per damage step, so the reward for connecting is flat regardless of how many attackers get through; the card wants you landing hits across many turns, not stacking them into one big swing. That Treasure is what converts a body swapped in for an unblocked attacker from a tempo play into a resource one, since the banked mana helps fund the next return-and-redeploy and the one after that. The 2/4 frame is built to survive the loop it enables: durable enough to outlast most cheap burn, wide enough to wall the small blockers that would otherwise chump the evasion the deck leans on. What holds the design in check is that the Treasure comes off connecting, not off casting, so value only compounds while the board stays porous. That gate is precisely the axis a rebalance polices: an engine that hums against an open board and stalls the moment defenders arrive.
