Accursed Spirit
Filler with a delivery mechanism. The 3/2 body for four mana sits well below the curve for a creature meant to attack, and the design knows it: intimidate is what justifies the slot. Against most decks that aren't running black or a meaningful artifact-creature count, those three points connect every turn, which is the whole pitch. The keyword is the generalized descendant of fear, the original evasion mechanic that lets a creature slip past everything but artifact and black blockers. Intimidate took that idea and untethered it from black, keying the evasion off the attacker's own color so the same template ports to every color rather than staying a black-only quirk. The trade is that the body is fragile (two toughness folds to nearly any removal, or to a chump that happens to share its color) and the evasion collapses entirely in a mirror or against the artifact-heavy decks that turn up in every era. As a piece of common-rarity black aggression, it is a reasonable curve-topper for a beatdown shell that wants reliable damage and nothing more. It asks for no setup and rewards no building around; it hits, or it doesn't, depending on what is across the table.
