Kami of the Waning Moon

Read this 1/1 flier as a payoff, not a creature, and the design logic clears up. The body is incidental; the value lives in the trigger, which hands a chosen creature evasion every time you add to a board built around chaining and splicing onto Arcane casts. In that kind of deck the ability fires relentlessly, and it points wherever you need a push: usually a stalled ground attacker, made unblockable against any opponent without artifact or black creatures to wall it. The target is open, so the Kami can technically aim fear at itself, though granting evasion to a creature that already flies is the wasteful read; the point is to push the ground troops the flier cannot escort through the air. This was a block that rewarded raw cast count, and the design converts that count into board damage: distributed combat advantage spread across several attackers rather than one decisive swing. The fear is strictly offensive, too, granting nothing to a blocker, which keeps the card pointed at racing rather than holding a stall. It never broke free of its tribal home and was never meant to: with no creatures worth pushing and nothing in hand to trigger off of, the ability simply lies dormant, leaving a flier that does only what its stat line allows. Inside the deck it was built for, it is a quiet damage multiplier that asks for nothing beyond the casts you were already making.
