Faithful Pikemaster

The turn-conditional first strike is the tell: this is a creature designed to be an aggressor and nothing else. First strike only on your turn means it swings into blockers with the advantage and then reverts to a plain 3/4 the moment the crackback comes, so it wins the races it starts but offers no free value on defense. That asymmetry is deliberate. A permanent first striker on a 3/4 body would be a genuine roadblock; restricting the keyword to your own turn keeps it honest as an attacker without handing you a wall. The scry 2 on entry is the smoothing pass that pays for the body: a four-mana 3/4 with no evasion and no combat surprise on defense needs a reason to run, and drawing toward your curve is that reason. Everything about the design points one direction, toward the red zone, which is a coherent way to build a common-slot beater even if it never asks a hard question of the pilot.
