Leitmotif Composer

Creature — Human Bard2 generic manaBlue mana

The interesting friction here is that a 2/2 with a hit-the-player-draw-a-card trigger wants to attack early and often, while the token-copy engine rewards the exact opposite curve: expensive instants and sorceries, the five-and-up bombs that don't come down until the midgame. A deck built around this creature is trying to do two things that pull against each other, and the third ability is the reconciliation. Spending mana to make every copy unblockable (the clause names Leitmotif Composer, so the original and every duplicate gain evasion at once) turns the whole board of Bards into guaranteed card draw in a single combat. That reframes the copy trigger: each big spell you cast is not just value, it is another unblockable saboteur that will refill your hand next combat. The design leans on a recursive loop that most spellslinger payoffs never bother with, because most of them care about the spell itself rather than the body it leaves behind. Naming itself in the unblockable clause reveals what the card was built to expect: a battlefield full of matching Composers, not a single evasive threat. Evasion scales cleanly with each copy you produce, so the more big spells you cast, the more damage lands and the more you draw. It asks a spells-matter shell to also function as a small go-wide draw engine, an unusual pair of axes to hang on one three-mana Human Bard.
