Creature — Human Warrior1 generic manaRed mana

The evasion clause is the interesting part, because it does what menace and intimidate never quite manage: instead of taxing the blocker or restricting who can block, it disqualifies one creature entirely, and it does so on a power comparison the attacker controls. A 3/1 shuts down anything with power 2 or less the moment combat opens, which means the aggressive board states this thing wants to be in (early, wide, small) are exactly the ones where its trigger clears the largest lane. It reads as a modest two-drop until you notice how many of the bodies it will face fall under that power line. The domain pump is the second, slower half of the card: a mana sink that both grows the 3/1 and lets it clear a bigger blocker, so the "can't block" rider scales upward as your five basic land types come online. That coupling is deliberate. Early, it removes chump blockers; late, with the manabase filled out, it discounts its own pump enough to threaten larger creatures with the same disqualification. The once-per-turn limit keeps the pump from spiraling, but the design intent is clear: a warrior built to be cheap and relevant the moment it hits, then convert a greedy multi-land board into a repeatable evasion engine rather than idle mana. Nothing on it is flashy. The value is in how neatly the attack trigger's power threshold rises in lockstep with the pump that domain rewards you for fueling.
