Marsh Flitter

Creature — Faerie Rogue3 generic manaBlack mana

The Faerie body is almost incidental; what this is really doing is bridging two tribes that share nothing else. A Faerie that walks in trailing a pair of Goblins is a deliberate tribal handshake, and the sacrifice ability is where the design earns its keep: the two tokens are not just bodies but fuel, convertible into a one-shot evasive threat the moment combat demands it. Each Goblin spent turns the 1/1 flier into a 3/3 flier until end of turn, so the card front-loads three power across three creatures and then lets you collapse it into one swing when you need the air to actually matter. The tokens being Goblin Rogues rather than generic 1/1s is the tell: they feed sacrifice outlets, they answer to lords on either side of the tribal line, and they keep the card relevant in two different deck shells from a single printing. As a value engine it is modest, but as a tribal connector it is doing something most enters-the-battlefield-token creatures never bother with: caring what type the tokens are, and giving you a reason to eat them yourself rather than chump-block with them.
