Creature — Faerie SoldierBlue or Black manaBlue or Black manaBlue or Black mana

The cost is the entire pitch. Three hybrid pips that each take blue or black mean this 3/2 flier lands on curve in a mono-blue deck, a mono-black deck, or any Dimir build, paying the same total either way. That flexibility is the hybrid mechanic in its purest application: not a gold card that demands both colors, but one that asks for either and never penalizes you for choosing wrong. The body is unremarkable, a Faerie Soldier with evasion and nothing else, but the casting cost makes it a creature two color identities can fight over rather than one they merely share. For a Faeries strategy, that breadth is the point: a tribe that historically lived in blue-black got a beater that a strictly mono-colored variant could still run without bending its manabase. The 3/2 flying line is aggressive enough to matter and fragile enough to trade into almost anything, which fixes it firmly as a tempo creature rather than a stabilizer. What it represents is the hybrid frame doing exactly what hybrid was built to do: widen the set of decks a single printing can appear in without printing the card twice.
