Inkrise Infiltrator
An evasive two-drop that refuses to go dead in a flood. A 1/2 flier is the aggressive point early: it slips past ground stalls and connects for chip damage while the board clogs up. The firebreathing-style pump, for +2/+2 with no cap on activations, is what carries it into the late game, converting surplus lands into a scaling clock rather than a topdecked blank. That trade is the design's spine: a cheap flier concedes power to buy evasion, and this one purchases the power back on demand, spending exactly the mana a given turn needs to push through lethal. The toughness of 2 does quiet work, ducking a swath of one-damage sweepers and pinging removal that would clip a 1/1, and every point of pump lands because flying means it rarely trades in combat. The Ninja typing reads as flavor and future-proofing more than an engine the card actually exploits; what it delivers in practice is the classic mana-sink flier, a threat that stays live once your draws start turning into land. Modest, but honest work: an evasive body that never becomes a dead card once you have four lands and a black source to sink into it.
