Saltwater Stalwart

That "target player draws a card" clause is the giveaway: this creature was made for the political table, where a draw handed to the right opponent is a bargaining chip rather than a gift. The 2/4 body wants to attack into the open seat, and connecting hands a card to whoever you choose, which turns the trigger into a bribe. Feed the draw to an ally to cement a deal, hand it to the player least likely to swing back, or simply keep it yourself when nobody needs convincing. The flexible target is the whole point: the same creature that pays a tax to keep a temporary truce can quietly build your own advantage once the table stops watching. The defensive stat line is deliberate friction against that upside. A 2/4 is hard to kill in combat but rarely closes a game alone, so the value accrues one card at a time across many turns rather than in a single decisive swing. Merfolk and Warrior typing offer tribal hooks, but the design lives entirely in that conditional draw: a small repeatable engine that runs on combat damage and rewards the player who knows when generosity buys more than greed.
