­Whirlwind Adept + Brain-Eating Zombie

Huh. A 1/1 that can be a 2/2 if it eats something on etb. Except it already costs 2. So that's just not much fun unless you really reall need a sac outlet on turn 2?

And quite a stompy blue djinn. Hexproof and prowess.

Seems like a near-vanilla is the way to go here. Just plain combat in the colours that mostly do tricks.

But what specific near-trick should we use? Well, my playlist tells me I'm making a grue. By which you are likely to be eaten.

Deathtouch as long as... well, the djinn wants spells. So sure, deathtouch provided no spells have been cast this turn. Make a fireball, and it's no longer dark; so you don't get eaten.

Name... sure, take something else from the blue side.

So now I have to decide what a grue hs as its creature type. Executive decision - Grues have NO creature type. And they look like... well, it's hard to see them in the dark.

P/T. Deathtouch on a 1/1 pains me. I want this to sometimes survive. Go for 2/2.
