Crew Captain
Four power stapled to a toughness that folds to almost any interaction, hasted so it can hit the turn it lands: the numbers announce a beater and nothing more. The indestructible clause is the compensation, and its wording draws a hard line: protection lasts only while the creature entered this turn. That shield covers exactly one attack. Play it, swing, and it walks through blocks and instant-speed removal on its arrival turn; the moment your turn ends, the indestructible falls away. On the opponent's turn it is a plain body again, exposed to a sorcery-speed sweeper, a two-mana kill spell, or an instant-speed burn during their combat. The design leans on tempo rather than resilience: it rewards emptying your hand and committing to an offensive, and it punishes the durdle by leaving nothing behind if you fail to press. Asking for three colors to power a creature whose defensive stat matters on only a single turn is a steep price, and the card pays it by pointing every incentive toward attacking. That timing window is the whole trick: survivability is front-loaded onto the entry turn and stripped away on every turn after, so the correct line is almost always to send it now rather than hold it for later value.
