Void Stalker

Creature — Elemental1 generic manaBlue mana

The activated ability is an answer that refuses to play the destruction game. It does not kill the target; it puts the creature on top of its owner's library and shuffles, randomizing it back into the deck. Library-tuck sidesteps every defense that destruction respects: indestructible threats, regenerators, anything carrying a punishing death trigger. None of them ever dies, none of them reaches the graveyard, so none of those protections matter. The price is steep and symmetric. The ability costs 2 generic manaBlue mana plus the tap, and it returns the Stalker itself onto your library alongside the target, so each activation spends the body that powers it: one clean answer, then your own 2/1 goes back too. Both players reshuffle, so neither the tucked threat nor the spent Stalker has a guaranteed return; you are trading a two-mana creature for a one-shot eraser and accepting that you have randomized both away. That it taps does not pin it to your own turn: this fires at instant speed, holding up the answer to ambush a creature mid-combat or in response to a pump spell. The 2/1 frame tells the rest of the story. It is built to come down early, trade or chip in, then convert into a reset button the moment a problem lands. Tuck effects that answer the unanswerable are usually noncreature spells; the unusual move here is riding the eraser on a body you can deploy on turn two.
