Noggle Bandit

Creature — Noggle Rogue1 generic manaBlue or Red manaBlue or Red mana

Evasion that asks for nothing in return: the "can't be blocked except by defenders" clause is functionally unblockable in practice, since defenders are rare and the cards that carry them are built to sit back rather than trade. The flexible part is the hybrid casting cost, with both colored pips leaning either direction, so it slots into a pure blue tempo shell, a pure red aggro shell, or anything in between without committing to a second source of mana. What you get for it is a 2/2 that connects nearly every turn, the kind of reliable damage that makes auras, equipment, and noncombat triggers pay off because the hit is dependable rather than conditional. The lineage here is the long line of small evasive beaters built to carry something: the threat is not the creature, it is whatever you stick onto a creature the opponent cannot answer in combat. Where most evasion abilities pay for their reliability with a fragile frame or a steep cost, this one keeps the rate ordinary and lets the near-certain connection do the work. It is a chassis, not a finisher: useful exactly to the degree that the rest of the deck is built to exploit a hit that nearly always lands.
