Snowmelt Stag

A creature that reads its own stats off the turn structure, and the split does exactly the work a two-sided body wants. On defense it stands at 2/5, wide enough to block almost anything and survive; on your own turn the profile flips to 5/2, hitting hard while vigilance keeps it home to guard on the swing back. That asymmetry sidesteps the classic bind of a beefy wall that can't threaten and a fragile beater that leaves you open: the shape changes to match whichever half of the turn cycle you're in, so it is always the right creature for the moment. The evasion outlet is priced as a late-game inevitability rather than a routine enabler. It costs more than the creature itself, making it the mana sink you reach for when a game has stalled and you need to push the last points through. That expense is the balancing lever: if unblockability were cheap, a body swinging for 5 every turn would be a punishing clock, and charging keeps the aggression from running away while reserving the finishing mode for turns when you have mana to spare. A compact exercise in stat-line asymmetry, a blue elemental built to be good at whichever job the phase structure hands it.
