Corpse Harvester

The Zombie tribal engine of its era leaned hard on the graveyard, and a single tap here fed both halves of that engine: convert a dead body into a Zombie spell and a land drop in one motion, smoothing the curve while stocking the bin for the recursion and threshold payoffs the deck wanted anyway. The tutor is deliberately split into two narrow halves, a Zombie card and a Swamp card, so it never cracks a deck open the way an open-ended search would; think of it as a tribal Diabolic Tutor that only ever fetches inside its lane and pays its toll in sacrificed creatures. The sacrifice clause is what keeps the rate honest: every activation eats a body, so the engine cannibalizes the same board it is supposed to be rebuilding, and the payoff comes in increments rather than one explosive turn. Stock the deck with expendable tokens or recursive Zombies and that cost reads as fuel; build it anywhere else and the same line reads as a tax. A creature that turns creatures into selection is a tidy distillation of an all-creature design philosophy: deny a deck the spells it would normally tutor toward, and the dig has to go tribal instead.
