Catacomb Slug

Six toughness on a five-mana body with two power, no evasion, and nothing in the text box: defensive math distilled to a single creature. The design is entirely negative space. A 2/6 stops one attacker per combat indefinitely, soaking the early aggressive curve while it stays home, and the absence of upside is the price the rate pays. At common, a body this awkward to kill in combat cannot also be allowed to threaten anything; hand it relevant power or evasion and a beatdown deck loses the option to simply route around it, which is precisely the function the wall was printed to serve. The tradeoff is deliberate: hard to remove through combat, useless the moment the board stops being a ground stall. The arithmetic it enforces is plain: attack into it and you trade nothing, leave it standing and your clock slows. There is no second mode to find outside that calculus, and that flatness is not a flaw in the design so much as its entire point. Vanilla creatures at this size are a deliberate floor, the kind of body a slow deck leans on precisely because it does not need to be played around in any way more complicated than going wide.
