Pocket Trickster Pup
Mischievous Pup is a compact white body that asks you to think about tempo rather than raw staying power. At {2}{W} the creature arrives with Flash, which means it can answer a threat or slip into a surprise attack window. When Mischievous Pup enters the battlefield, you may return up to one other target permanent you control to its owner’s hand. That bounce effect reads like a short term reset for a tapped attacker, a damaged blocker, or a permanent you want to reuse for value.
From a deck building perspective the Pup is practical. It recoups value by enabling replay triggers, protects fragile artifacts or enchantments, and pairs cleanly with enter the battlefield synergies. The 3/1 stat line makes it an efficient clock in aggressive White lists and a disruptive tempo piece in slower shells. Use it to reset a merchant piece in Lost Caverns of Ixalan draft or to protect a combo piece in constructed play.
