Rigo, Streetwise Mentor
A go-wide draw engine built around the least-scary creatures in the deck. The trigger cares about power 1 or less, which inverts the usual instinct to pump a team before combat: here the reward flows from swarming with tokens, mana dorks, and one-drops that would otherwise be too small to matter. The trigger keys on the act of attacking a player or planeswalker with at least one such creature, so the real ceiling is the number of separate attack targets, not the number of bodies. Split the swarm across multiple opponents or planeswalkers in the same combat and each qualifying assault draws its own card, which turns the payoff from a single refuel into a fan-out engine at a crowded table. The design still punishes the pilot who over-anthems and prices attackers out of the range, so it pushes width and low power rather than raw stats. The shield counter is the concession that keeps a 2/2 alive long enough to matter: it absorbs the first damage-based removal spell or combat blowout, buying a turn of triggers before opponents spend a real answer. What makes the card cohere is the color identity doing the archetype work rather than the mana cost: the Selesnya-into-Azorius spread pairs token generation and go-wide payoffs with the card-draw and protection those strategies usually lack, framing a small-creature aggro plan that wants to flood the board and refuel at the same time.
