Aphotic Wisps

Evasion stapled to a cantrip, and the single black mana tells you which problem the design is solving. Fear is the unblockable-adjacent keyword black has always had clean access to: making a creature black and giving it fear means it slips past nearly everything that does not run artifact or black blockers, which in most board states is everything. One mana buys you that for a turn, and because the spell replaces itself, it never costs you a card. A combat trick that cantrips asks nothing of your deck, so it sits comfortably in any list that wants reach without diluting its draws. The catch is built into the keyword: fear only beats the wrong blockers, not all of them. An artifact creature or a black creature still eats the attacker, and that seam is what keeps a one-mana evasion cantrip from being oppressive. It is a quietly utilitarian instant: not a finisher on its own, but the kind of spell that turns a stalled board into lethal while topping your hand back up, the sort of effect that pays off in a deck already counting on connecting.
