Quick Flicker: Pestermite
Pestermite is a compact tempo piece that slots into aggressive blue shells and blink strategies with minimal fuss. With flash you can deploy it at instant speed to change combat math or respond to removal, and flying lets it slip past ground defenders. The two one body may seem small, yet the real value is the enter the battlefield trigger that lets you tap or untap any permanent, turning a single cast into a disruptive play or a combo enabler.
Use Pestermite to remove a blocker midcombat, untap a mana source for additional value, or free a tapped creature to reuse its enter the battlefield effect. In control matchups it functions as surprise pressure and a tempo swing. The card fits well in Foundations Jumpstart decks that seek low cost interaction and repeatable advantages. Add it when you want an efficient faerie that bends the board state without demanding setup.
