Slip Through the Crowd
Exit Specialist is a compact evasive threat that punishes boards built around big blockers. For {1}{U} you get a 2/1 Human Detective that cannot be blocked by creatures with power 3 or greater, which makes it a consistent avenue for incremental damage and tempo. In play it forces opponents to choose between chump blocking with smaller creatures or letting it through to apply pressure and trade up later on your terms.
The disguise ability gives two levels of play. Cast it face down as a 2/2 with ward 2 to hide intent while you develop the board. Flip it later for {1}{U} to return another target creature to its owner s hand and disrupt an opponent s setup or clear a blocker for a bigger attacker. This Near Mint Foil print from Murders at Karlov Manor is a practical pick for blue tempo lists and blink or flicker shells that value enter the battlefield interaction and evasive threats.
