Delta Bloodflies

The evasive body is the tell for what this two-mana flyer is built to reward: a counters-matters shell where the attack trigger reads the whole board rather than the attacker itself. Each time it swings, if any creature you control is carrying a counter (a +1/+1, a keyword counter, whatever the deck manufactures), each opponent loses a point of life. The virtue is not the size of that point but where it comes from. Most counter payoffs ask you to connect with the creatures holding the counters, which puts the value at risk in combat; here the counter can sit on a body the opponent has learned to leave home while the 1/2 flies in and levies the tax regardless of blockers. The trigger checks on attack, not on damage, so the life loss fires the moment it declares, whether it gets through or dies to a flying blocker. Splitting the counter from the payoff onto two bodies is the entire idea: the 1/2 is deliberately toothless in combat math because its job is the incidental one-point bleed, not the swing. It is a role-player, filling the space between the enablers that produce counters and the finishers that cash them in, and it wants a board that was going to attack anyway. Nothing about it demands building around; it rewards a deck already producing counters that needed a cheap, evasive way to chip opponents down.
