Wei Elite Companions

Five mana for a 3/3 undersells the body until you look at what it can't be blocked by. The evasion keyword here reads on paper like fear reworded, except that where fear gates blockers by color, this gates them by a keyword almost no creatures carry. The result is closer to an evasion monopoly than an evasion keyword: because the pool of horsemanship creatures is tiny and confined to a single milieu, anything carrying it connects nearly every turn against decks not built from the same milieu. This body is the plain-vanilla expression of that idea, no triggers and no toolbox, just repeatable and hard-to-stop damage. The cost is the brake. A 3/3 at this rate sits well below what flying or trample would command at the same size, and that gap is the design paying down evasion the era treated as borderline insurmountable. Where the splashier cards from this line leaned on the keyword to carry combo or beatdown shells, this one is the workhorse: a clock whose only real answer is the opponent also fielding horses, which they almost never do.
