Eyekite
A flyer whose entire value lives in the gap between its idle body and its active one. Two cards drawn in a single turn is a low bar for the archetypes it was built alongside: cantrip-heavy tempo and card-advantage engines cross that line without effort, and when they do the 1/2 in the air becomes a 3/2, a clock that closes games the deck was already set up to enable. Left to its own devices it is barely a creature; wired into a shell that reliably draws its second card early, it converts an incidental line of play into evasive pressure. What is notable is where the buff sits on the axis: not a build-around payoff that demands specific enablers, but a passive rider on card flow, a threat that scales with an activity the pilot is measuring for other reasons. It belongs to the small family of cheap blue beaters that ask nothing of the manabase and only that their controller do what draw-go tempo already does, turning the act of looking at more cards into a beat on the opponent's life total. The reward is one-way and conditional: the buff checks your own draws, not the opponent's, so the design pays out precisely for the deckbuilding decision that filled the list with cantrips in the first place.
