A-Skull Skaab

Exploit has always framed the sacrifice as a cost you pay to fund a bigger effect: eat a creature, get value. This turns the accounting around by making the act of exploiting itself the payoff. Every time any creature you control exploits (not just this one), a 2/2 Zombie replaces whatever you fed to the mechanic, so the sacrifice stops being a real loss and starts being a body-for-body swap with an upside baked in. That distinction matters because exploit reads as attrition and plays as tempo drain; the token trigger patches the leak. The wrinkle worth naming: this card exploits on its own entry, and its own exploit triggers its own ability, so it can immediately turn the fodder it consumes into a fresh 2/2 and net a warm body while banking whatever the sacrificed creature's death was worth. Stack it with other exploiters and the Zombie count climbs one per exploit, which is where the design's real ambition sits: it wants a board full of things that want to eat each other, and it pays out on every meal. As a two-mana 2/2, the rate is deliberately unremarkable. The card is an engine piece dressed as a curve-filler, and it earns its place by making a graveyard-and-sacrifice deck's least glamorous line, feeding creatures to exploit, generate a self-replacing army instead of a diminishing one.
