Clammy Prowler

Enchantment Creature — Horror3 generic manaBlue mana

Evasion-granting has traditionally been the province of red and green pump auras or dedicated menace-granters; here the effect is bolted onto a durable blue body that carries a defensive 2/5, and the attack trigger points outward rather than at itself. That inversion is the whole design logic. A 2/5 is not the creature you want swinging in for two: it wants to sit back on defense. But the trigger only fires when it attacks, so the card asks you to send in a wall specifically to open a lane for a heftier threat behind it. The unblockable clause targets another attacking creature, meaning the Prowler is the setup and something else is the payoff. Because the ability triggers on the declare-attackers step and the unblockability resolves before blocks, it slips a chosen beater past a defense that would otherwise gum up the ground. The body's toughness does real work in the exchange: the Prowler is unlikely to die in the process, so the evasion engine keeps running turn after turn rather than trading itself away. It is a repeatable one-way toll on the opponent's blockers, priced onto a frame that survives the swing it enables.
