Leap of Shadows — Evie Frye
Evie Frye is a compact, tempo focused Legendary Creature that rewards tight sequencing and hand manipulation. As a Blue one drop with the Partner with Jacob Frye clause, she plugs into ally pairings and artifact or creature synergies easily. Her activate ability trades a mana and the tap for card selection then converts discarded creature cards into a surprise evasive push for your board.
In practice Evie Frye excels in decks that want efficient card selection and incremental evasive threats. Use her early to filter into answers or threats, then discard a creature to clear the way for damage that bypasses blockers. This near mint foil piece from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed is a playable collectible that fits commander and casual formats well. Add her to your list to tune breakout turns and preserve tempo.
