Gríma, Saruman's Footman
Unblockable evasion is old blue-black territory, the province of little ferrymen that chip in for one and untap; welding it to an off-the-top spellcasting engine is the wrinkle that makes this body matter. The 1/4 is the tell. This is not a clock, it is a delivery mechanism: four toughness that survives a swing back, one power that guarantees the trigger fires the moment it connects, and no combat math to solve because the creature simply cannot be stopped. What it delivers is a Gonti-style theft aimed at the opponent's deck rather than their hand, digging past lands and creatures until it hits an instant or sorcery and letting you cast it free. The friction is that you are mining someone else's list, so the payoff swings from a burn spell you can point back at them to a board wipe you cast on your own terms to whatever ritual or tutor happens to sit on top. The randomized bottoming afterward means the same swing rarely reads the same twice, which is the point: the card converts an unanswerable one-damage tap into a recurring, uncontrolled draft from the enemy's own library. It sits in the lineage of blue-black attrition creatures that win by value rather than damage, but where most of those cast off the top of your own deck, this one turns evasion into a straw pushed into the opponent's.
