How to capture the flavour of a greased weasel? I decided (i) haste and (ii) hard to catch.
I decided on an optional "return to hand" to represent "hard to catch". I'm not sure why, but it felt right that it could dodge removal, but did so by squirting over to somewhere else entirely, but not be able to dodge mass removal or creature combat.
It would fit the flavour to have it be returned when it's blocked, but I think I like the simplicity of the current version.
For Challenge # 038.

This certainly makes Viashino Sandscout look like a punk, but I don't think that's a real problem. Strong, but strong like a modern rare. Seems good.
