Trying to address the typical issues with unblockable. This feels mighty pushed, but I like it?

Also, it's for the {u}{b} archetype-candidate 'power 2 or less', which it seems most people are enjoying.

"mighty pushed" seems like an understatement.

Seems to me like a Vaporkin reprint, functional or not (or some sort of mono-U Gust-Skimmer or Roofstalker Wight), would do just fine.

Yeah, I figured this was probably too insane, but I thought I'd at least jot down the idea. I agree that a Vaporkin is probably better in this slot.

Now can gain flying, rather than being unblockable when power is 2 or less.

Currently we have 2 cards that care about "creature with flying enters the battlefield" which makes this feel disappointing. That said, it is possible that the flying deck is strong and we need a few good creatures that can block flyers that don't go in the flyer deck.

Ah, that's a fantastic point, Jackal. Let's try something different with this guy, then. A reprint of Coralhelm Guide with new types should be perfect.

Are people going to get this confused with (((Craftier Pathmage)))? They want different targets but they are both small common Blue creatures that can make other creatures unblockable.

Good point. We might not want both in the set

Yes, indeed. I didn't even notice Craftier Pathmage, my apologies. I think that is strictly better than this one and supports the archetype better, so we can just make this into whatever we feel we want. Any suggestions? Looking for a Coral Merfolk body with some fun flavor. :)

For now, since we could need another Thopter maker in the future if Fugitive Freelancer doesn't work out, I've slotted it in as one. Was a reprint of Coralhelm Guide.

Is this okay as a 1/1 with a Thopter? It could be a 0/1, but that seems mighty weak.

Uncoded. Potential candidate for CU05

For CU06, rather
