Bouncing Beebles

Creature — Beeble2 generic manaBlue mana

The Beebles are Mark Tedin's running joke turned into a real creature type, and this is the one that found a strategic purpose for the gag. Evasion conditioned on the defending player controlling an artifact is a narrow window in most environments and a wide-open lane in artifact-dense ones, which means the card's reliability is set entirely by what the opponent chose to play rather than anything the controller does. That is an unusual axis for unblockable: most evasive bodies carry their keyword unconditionally, and the ones that don't usually gate it behind something the attacker controls. Here the condition is a static "as long as," and it reads the board across the table rather than the controller's own. It punishes a board the opponent built for value, turning their fixing, equipment, and engines into a permission slip for two damage a turn. The flavor and the function line up neatly: a creature that slips through the gaps in a machine-heavy deck, harmless against a mana base of nothing but lands and unstoppable against one that leans on artifacts to function. It is a small card with a clean design idea, the kind of conditional evasion that rewards reading an opponent's reliance on artifacts rather than building around a static keyword of your own.
