Mystic Skyfish
A 3/1 body is the classic aggressive-blue statline: it hits hard and dies to a stiff breeze, exactly the shape of creature that wants to be attacking before the opponent stabilizes. The evasion here is conditional, and the condition is a deckbuilding prompt rather than a passive freebie: you have to manufacture a second draw each turn to lift the fish over blockers. That reframes the whole card around cheap cantrips and draw-doubling effects, the kind of spell you were already running in a tempo shell to smooth out an aggressive curve. On turns where you find the extra card, the ground stall stops mattering; on turns where you don't, you're holding a fragile beater hoping the board hasn't clogged. It sits at the aggressive end of a line of blue creatures that reward a "draw two" turn: not a value engine, just a clock that clears the wall while your card advantage is flowing. There's a tension baked into the enablers, though. The same cantrips pulling double duty (chip in early, then trigger the flying later) are the cards that let a slower, grindier deck bury you. The fish only makes sense in a build committed to closing fast, not one hedging toward the long game.
