Creature — Moonfolk Wizard3 generic manaBlue mana

A 3/1 flyer is a fine clock on its own, but the body in front of you is rarely the point. The Moonfolk were built around a strange tax: floating lands back to hand as a recurring cost, and this is the member that aims that machinery at the combat step. Pay two generic mana and tuck a land back into your hand, and any small attacker becomes unblockable for the turn. The land-return clause is what keeps the ability honest: it ties the evasion to a resource you would rather leave on the table, so each activation actively unwinds your mana development. That cost reads as a flaw until you remember the tribe's signature was making land-bounce into a deckbuilding identity rather than a drawback to suffer. Decks built to float and replay lands could absorb the price and push the same threat through turn after turn; everyone else paid it once and felt the dent. The 3/1 frame matters less than the saboteur or two-power-or-less threat it ushers in: a poison-carrier, a damage-dealer on connect, or just a clock that needed one clean swing. It belongs to a lineage of evasion enablers that ask you to spend more than mana, and the thing it spends is the thing you can least afford to keep recycling.
