Inkfathom Infiltrator

Shadow Mechanic in Standard

For the discussion about bringing shadow back into Standard, the format has previously included fairly efficient creatures with "can't block" and "can't be blocked" (Tormented Soul, 1/1 for 1 mana; and Inkfathom Infiltrator, 2/1 for 2 mana) which is fairly similar to shadow. Neither was played much in Standard, and in Limited they were played sometimes but didn't break anything.

Just because we’re willing to do one (similar) card, doesn’t mean we necessarily want to do a whole mechanic of something.
