Artifact Creature — RobotWhite mana

White aggro rarely gets to hedge its bets inside a single mana, and this little robot does exactly that by pointing its two abilities in opposite directions. The max-speed clause is a payoff for pressure: a 2/1 body, but only after three separate turns of chipping an opponent down, since your speed climbs once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life and tops out at four. That is upside gated behind the game going well. The death trigger pays out when the game goes badly. Send it into a blocker, feed it to a sacrifice engine, or chump a fatty, and you still bank a 1/1 Servo token, so a board stall never leaves the card stranded the way most speed-dependent one-drops end up. The split is the design idea worth watching: aggressive stats you might never see, backed by a floor that arrives precisely when the aggressive plan fails. The Servo carries the artifact-creature tag too, which white's convoke, sacrifice fodder, and go-wide payoffs have always been glad to consume. A modest body doing quiet double duty, built so the fast plan and the grindy fallback can ride the same card.
