Jungle Weaver

Green's cleanest answer to evasion that doubles as a card it can throw away: a 5/6 Spider with Reach walls the skies in a color that otherwise concedes the air, while cycling for two erases the dead-card tax of carrying a seven-drop you may never want to cast. The flexibility carries the whole design. A vanilla 5/6 at this cost is a card you cut and a card you flood on late; the cycling cost converts that same slot into a two-mana cantrip whenever the matchup has no use for a fat blocker. The body is sized to matter when you do want it (it survives most ground exchanges and eats nearly every flyer that runs into it), but the card's intelligence lies in refusing to ever be a liability. Green has leaned on this template repeatedly for expensive utility creatures: print a body big enough to be relevant once you reach the mana, and pair it with a cycling cost cheap enough that the card never sits dead when you don't. The result is a curve-topper that is simultaneously a one-of insurance policy against aggressive air forces, with no premium paid for the optionality beyond the discard itself.
