Ghost, Spectral Saboteur

Legendary Creature — Human Rogue Villain2 generic manaBlue or Black mana

Unblockable has always been the cheapest way to sell an evasive body, and this one strips the concept down to its two most efficient parts: a can't-be-blocked clause welded to flash. The 2/2 is beside the point. What the design is really selling is a repeatable damage source you can deploy at instant speed, on an opponent's end step, in response to a board wipe, or the moment a defensive line commits to blocking something else. Intangibility is just the flavor-named version of a guarantee that has followed small blue evaders since the earliest days: no combat math, no chump block, two damage a turn until someone finds a removal spell. The flash is what turns the card from a threat into a trap. It converts the creature from a proactive commitment into a reactive one, letting you hold up interaction and only put the body down when the coast is clear, which is exactly the profile a low-toughness beater wants on a board that can be swept or a point of spot removal held in reserve. The hybrid pip keeps it accessible to any deck that touches either blue or black, so it reads less as a color commitment than a tax you barely notice. It is a delivery mechanism, and honest about being one: a guaranteed connection wearing whatever aura, equipment, or ninjutsu trigger you care to strap on.
