Pillardrop Rescuer

A five-mana 2/2 flyer is a body nobody is casting for the stats, which tells you where the design's weight actually sits: the enters trigger buying back a small creature from the graveyard. The mana-value cap of three keeps the recursion aimed at the cheap, replaceable end of the curve, which is exactly where value engines live: a mana dork, a hatebear, a one-drop with an on-death or on-enter trigger. That ceiling is what prevents the card from becoming a soft Regrowth for your best late-game threat; you get back the piece you want to recast and recast again, not the bomb you lost. The design belongs to a long white tradition of stapling graveyard retrieval onto a modest flyer so the creature justifies itself twice: once when it blocks or chips, once when it refills your hand. Because the return fires only on entry rather than continuously, it wants a stream of cheap bodies moving through the yard to keep the loop fed, and it plays best as a bridge between the early game that filled that graveyard and a midgame that wants to keep looping it.
