Ghost of Ramirez DePietro
The evasion and the recursion are one design, and reading them as a single loop is the point. A body that slips past any blocker of toughness three or greater connects on a schedule you can plan around, so the combat-damage trigger fires reliably enough to build a strategy on. What it returns is deliberately narrow: only a card discarded or put into a graveyard from a library this turn, so the ability pays you for actively churning a library, yours or an opponent's, rather than sifting a whole graveyard. That constraint turns a stray Pirate into a self-refueling wheel: mill or discard, connect, buy the card back, repeat. Partner is the piece that closes the loop, letting the recursion lean on a companion built to manufacture the discard or the mill this trigger feeds on. Blue has circled this synthesis for years (the cheap, evasive tempo commander that reclaims a card of advantage every turn it lands, welded to a graveyard toolbox), yet few of those bodies arrived pre-built to dodge blockers and hand back a discarded card on the same swing. The 2/3 stat line is the price blue accepts for stacking evasion and recursion onto a three-mana creature: small enough to trade into, easy to answer if left unchecked, and dependent on the connection for every card it recovers.
