WB Midrange is the seat, and the pick is upper-midrange: P1P4 to P1P6 in a format where the hybrid cost lets it splash from either base color. The Sneak math is what carries the card. At six mana the rate is mediocre, and the body invites a Stomped by the Foot or a Dimensional Exile on the same turn you sandbagged the hardcast. Sneak inverts that. You declare an unblocked attacker, pull it from combat before damage, and replace it with a tapped 5/5 swinging in for five, plus three life on the way down. The replacement attacker connects where the returned one would have, so you are trading a smaller hit for a much larger one and a life cushion in the same step. In medium-speed WB mirrors, that swing is the kind the loser rarely climbs back out of.
The returned-attacker clause reads as a cost but matches what the deck does anyway: an unblocked one-drop has already earned its keep, and an evasive flier you bounce can rebuy its own value later. The line worth assembling is any common Sneak or Ninja attacker already in your colors, because returning one mid-combat and replacing it with this is the kind of double-spend at four mana that WB usually cannot reach.
The punisher is Grounded for Life, which destroys a tapped creature for less and catches the Foot the turn it lands tapped and attacking. Against a white deck holding up two, take the hardcast line or have a follow-up ready. Maindeck in any WB build; the splash is live when your base is BG Food or RW Equipment and you can produce one hybrid pip.
