Crypt Creeper

Most graveyard hate fires once and leaves: Tormod's Crypt and Nihil Spellbomb show up, do their job, and ask for no further investment. This trades that disposability for a body that earns its keep while it waits. A 2/1 for two blocks or attacks across a few turns, then sacrifices itself to convert into removal at the moment you choose. The clause exiles a single card, not the whole yard, so it answers a specific threat rather than scattering everything: the flashback spell, the threshold count one card short of online, the reanimation target an opponent is desperate to bring back. Against decks angling to retrieve a keystone, exiling that exact card is worth more than emptying the bin. The design problem it resolves is the perennial cost of maindeck hate. A reactive answer sitting dead in hand until the opponent commits is a wasted slot, but a creature that holds the line and snaps off into a precise exile is never one. It descends from a line of designs built to discipline decks that treated their own graveyard as fuel, and it reads as black's measured, single-shot reply to that texture: not a sweep, but a held option you cash in once, on your terms.
