Creature — Elemental5 generic manaBlue mana

Unblockable is the whole sell here, and the price for it is a body that dies to almost anything that isn't combat: 4 power that connects every turn, attached to a single toughness that any ping, any sweeper, any incidental noncombat damage erases. That trade is the design tension. Evasion this absolute usually comes stapled to a creature you can afford to lose or one cheap enough to recast; this one asks six mana for the privilege and gives you nothing to protect it. The result reads as a finisher on paper (a clock the opponent cannot touch through blockers) but behaves like a liability, because the same fragility that makes the evasion cheap to print means it folds to a single point of reach the moment they have an answer that doesn't involve declaring blockers. Designs in this vein have always lived or died on whether the unblockable body is also worth investing in, and at this rate, with this toughness, the math rarely closes. It functions less as a curve-topping threat than as a chassis: a guaranteed delivery system for whatever you can hang on it, where the auras or equipment do the work the base card never could. The trouble is that loading up a one-toughness creature compounds the risk it was already carrying, and the better the cargo, the more inviting the removal spell that takes both down together.
