Faerie Seer
Blue's answer to the aggressive one-drop problem has never been about the body: a 1/1 flier dies to a stiff breeze and blocks almost nothing worth blocking. The trick is that the card pays for its own draw step the moment it lands. Scry 2 on entry means the mana was never really spent on a creature; it was spent smoothing the next two turns, with a flier attached as a bonus that happens to matter to anything caring about creature count, tribe, or the graveyard later. That framing is what makes it a Faerie build's ideal opener rather than a filler common: it advances the board, digs toward the payoffs, and costs a single mana while doing both. The design lineage runs through blue's long history of card-selection-on-a-stick creatures, but the two-deep scry (rather than one) is what tips it from marginal to genuinely useful, letting you bury a flooding land or a dead answer before it ever reaches your hand. It rewards decks that want a cheap evasive attacker and a steady stream of relevant draws, which in blue is a common overlap. What keeps the whole thing honest is the fragility: everything the card offers is front-loaded into the enters-the-battlefield window, and once that scry resolves you are left holding a creature that trades down to almost any interaction. The value is real, but it is collected on turn one and never again.
