Flying
{U}, Sacrifice this creature: Counter target instant or sorcery spell unless its controller pays {3}.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Diversion Unit is a clean little tempo tool: a 2/1 flyer for {1}{U} that pressures life totals early while threatening to trade itself for a soft counterspell on demand. In practice, it best supports tempo and draw-go control decks that want to develop a board without giving up interaction, especially in blue builds that can hold up mana and force awkward sequencing from the opponent. The sacrifice ability is most effective when you can represent it at key moments, turning an otherwise routine instant or sorcery into a tax of {3} or a full counter if the opponent is tapped low. It pairs well with artifact synergies, blink or recursion effects that can rebuy useful bodies, and cards that care about sacrificing artifacts. Because it is cheap and evasive, Diversion Unit also fits nicely into decks that want to chip in early damage while protecting a lead.
