Stature, Size Shifter

The evasion clause reads backward from every other cheap blue attacker: most one-drops want to grow into a threat, but here the smaller she stays, the safer her damage. At 1 power or less she simply cannot be blocked, which turns her opening body into a reliable, if tiny, clock. The tension lives in her Power-up activation, a scalable pump at that becomes a trap the moment you spend it to push her past 1 power: doing so switches off the evasion that made her worth attacking with in the first place. So the pilot is always weighing two states: a chip-damage creature that gets through untouched, or a genuine threat that now has to negotiate the red zone like anything else. The cost reduction the turn she enters strips one blue pip from the activation (dropping to ), which rewards committing counters early rather than banking them, and the once-only restriction on each power-up keeps the growth deliberate: no repeatable loop to lean on, just a handful of discrete decisions. It is a small, self-limiting engine built around a single binary: stay under the radar, or become the thing the radar is looking for.
