Argothian Sprite

Evasion tuned to a single kind of wall: the artifact-creature blocker. Slipping past metal is a contingent keyword, worthless when the board across the table is elves or burn and precisely the right blade when it is machines that walk, so this Faerie was designed to an environment's blockers rather than to green's usual creature-quality math. The activated ability is the giveaway. Seven mana for two +1/+1 counters is a rate deliberately set past the point of ever mattering to a tuned deck; it exists purely as a mana sink for a game that has run out of better things to spend on, converting a flooded board into a slow escalation only when nothing sharper is available. That pairing (a body whose evasion depends entirely on what the opponent is fielding, and a counter engine priced never to touch a real curve) marks it as environment-specific design rather than an evergreen two-drop. It reads as a green 2/2 and swings like one; its whole reason for existing is the assumption that the creatures blocking it are made of metal.
