Argivian Avenger

A colorless 5/5 that pays for its own toolbox by shrinking itself. The activation costs one generic mana and one point of stats, and it hands you a menu of the four evergreen combat keywords: flying to fly over, vigilance to attack without dropping guard, deathtouch to trade up, haste to swing the turn it lands. Every activation is a deliberate exchange, so the design forces a live question each combat step: is this the turn I need to connect through the air, or the turn I need a 5/5 body to hold the ground? Stack the ability enough and the toughness collapses, which is the natural ceiling on how much you can bolt onto it in a single turn; the keywords compound but the body will not survive an unbounded pile of them. What makes it worth the six-mana price is the colorlessness paired with instant-speed flexibility: it slots into any deck regardless of color identity and reconfigures itself in response to what the opponent commits, choosing its keyword after blockers or attackers are already on the table. It is a modal creature that keeps its options open until the last possible window, trading raw efficiency for the ability to be whatever the board demands at the moment the choice actually matters.
