Picard, Leading by Example

A 2/2 that must survive, tap, and spend mana for delayed sorcery-speed pumping is too slow for Modern's efficient creature decks.

Could be wrong if An unprovided white go-wide shell that values repeatable power boosts could make it a fringe inclusion.

Legacy's cheap threats and interaction leave little room for a two-mana 2/2 whose payoff begins only on a later turn.

Could be wrong if A new low-curve white creature shell could value its repeatable pump more than current format priors suggest.

It is a repeatable power-based pump outlet for combat-focused Human decks, but tapping, sorcery timing, and single-target scaling keep it narrow.

Could be wrong if Unrevealed power-matters or Officer/Human support could give the activation a stronger dedicated shell.

A two-mana 2/2 is a sound floor, and later it can turn another attacker into a substantially better combat threat each turn.

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, creature sizing, and removal may make tapping Picard for temporary pumps either much better or too costly.
