Stonework Puma
A 2/2 for three mana is below the curve on rate alone, but the body was never the point. This is creature-type insurance: an artifact creature that happens to be both a Cat and an Ally, slotting into two tribal shells at once while staying colorless enough to fit any of them. The artifact tag matters as much as the tribes, since it lets the card register for cost reductions and affinity-style payoffs that key off artifacts rather than colors. The result is a deliberately overloaded piece of filler: it is not the card a tribal deck wants to draw, but it is the card a tribal deck can always run, in any color, when the curve has a hole and the tribe needs another warm body that counts. Designs like this exist to round out a creature type that is short on playable members, paying for breadth of eligibility with a stat line nobody builds around.
