June, Bounty Hunter

Legendary Creature — Human Mercenary1 generic manaBlack mana

The evasion clause is the interesting knot here: a 2/2 for two that turns unblockable only after you've drawn two or more cards in a turn, which pins the card's whole strategic axis to a resource most black decks aren't spending freely by default. Black draws by paying life or losing tempo, so the condition asks you to overdraw on purpose, and the sacrifice ability hands you the tool to do it: pitch a creature to make a Clue, then crack the Clue for a card. The two halves feed each other. The sac outlet converts spare bodies and expiring tokens into cards, and each card cracked pushes June closer to slipping through unblocked. The one constraint on that loop is that the sacrifice fires only on your own turn, which cuts off a familiar black line of play: you can't sacrifice a creature in response to a removal spell on the opponent's turn, or throw a blocker to the ability as it's about to trade, so every card you wring out of a dying creature has to be planned inside your own combat and main phases. Within your turn, though, the Clue-making is instant-speed, so it can react inside a combat you started or fire in response to removal aimed at your fodder, turning a creature that was about to die anyway into a card. What emerges is a two-drop built for an aristocrats shell where the fodder was always going to die and the draw-two threshold arrives as a byproduct rather than a tax. The body does no work on its own; it becomes a threat only once the deck around it spends resources at the pace the top line demands.
