Gustrider Exuberant

A 1/2 flier is filler until you read the second line: this is a payoff for big-creature white-and-green decks that resolve a fatty too slow to matter and then watch it get chump-blocked or stonewalled on the ground. The sacrifice grants evasion to your whole board of oversized threats at once, dressed up as a single trade, with the flier itself spent as the fuel. The design discipline is in the floor: nothing here moves the needle for your two-drops, so the card asks the deck to genuinely be built around heavyweight bodies rather than handing a generic alpha-strike enabler to any board. Because the grant lasts until end of turn and the sacrifice fires at instant speed, it also functions as a combat surprise: a ground stall suddenly clears through the air on an attack the defender thought they had covered. It is a narrow tool, and intentionally so, a creature that exists to push fatties over the top, useless without them and decisive alongside them.
