Wingrattle Scarecrow

Artifact Creature — Scarecrow3 generic mana

A colorless body that borrows its keywords from the board you already have, this is hybrid-block design solved from the other direction: instead of asking which color you tapped to cast it, it asks which colors you already control. A blue creature on your side and it flies; a black creature and it gains persist; both and you have a 2/2 evasive threat that crawls back from the graveyard once. The artifact frame lets it slot into any shell, while the conditional clauses reward exactly the dimir pairing the keywords point at, so the card prices itself: a 2/2 with one ability in either single color, a recursive flier only where both clauses switch on. The persist clause is the real wrinkle, because the -1/-1 counter that returns with it cuts both ways against the counter-shuffling effects this kind of design tends to live alongside: shrink the body further and it crumbles, strip the counter and the loop resets. Neither keyword lives on the card unconditionally; the whole creature is a contingency that only assembles when the rest of your board agrees to supply it.

This creature has flying as long as you control a blue creature. This creature has persist as long as you control a black creature. (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)
