The static ability is a permission rewrite, not a combat trick: opponents' ground creatures simply cannot block your small attackers, which turns every one- and two-power body into an unblockable threat against any table without fliers or reach. The design logic is aggression-as-an-engine, but the engine carries its own governor. The protection only covers power 2 or less, which makes this the rare commander where anthem effects and static pumps are actively hostile: bump your team to power 3 and you have handed the opponents their blockers back. So the partner question is not "who goes wide and pumps" but "who goes wide and low," generals that flood the ground with small bodies (tokens, mana dorks, recursive one-drops) without ever lifting them past the threshold that makes them slip through. Flanking sweetens the math for the rare profitable block, taxing any creature without flanking that does manage to stand in the way. The 2/5 body is built to absorb a swing and keep coming rather than to rule the air, which is the point: this enables a swarm, it does not win on its own line. The deckbuilding tension, then, is curve discipline as a hard constraint rather than a preference. Every card that touches power has to be checked against the evasion it might switch off, and the reward for that discipline is a board the opponents can only answer with fliers, reach, or a board wipe.
