Stone Spirit

A 4/3 for five mana whose only trick is that it walks past flyers: a curio from the days when a single line of static text was still considered a feature worth paying for. The design logic is transparent. Red gets a beater immune to the most common evasion defense, the small flyer thrown up as a chump blocker, but immune to nothing else. The ability is purely offensive, doing nothing on defense and nothing against ground blockers, which keeps the rate honest at a body that would otherwise be a touch undersized for its cost. The framing is the quietly interesting part. Most evasion is written from the attacker's side ("can't be blocked except by..."); here the restriction is hung on the blocker's wing, a narrow anti-flying clause rather than generic unblockability. It is a flavor-first solution, an earthbound elemental that ignores anything aloft, executed before the vocabulary for "evasion that only beats flyers" had really settled into a tidy ability. The result is a creature that does one thing, does it in the colors that least needed help breaking through, and asks nothing of the rest of the deck. A plain card, honestly built, and a useful snapshot of how cautiously creatures were costed when a single sentence of text earned its keep.
