Pairing exalted with haste on the same body is a quiet little contradiction, and that contradiction is the whole design. Exalted rewards you for attacking with one creature alone; haste lets a freshly cast attacker swing the turn it lands. Most exalted creatures sit back as static buffs, content to pump whichever lone attacker you choose. This one wants to be that attacker the moment it arrives: a 2/2 that, cast into an empty board and sent in by itself, connects as a 3/3 with no summoning sickness to wait out. The exalted trigger and the haste cooperate on the same swing, and the body is sized so that the +1/+1 actually matters to what it can trade with or push through. The friction is that the two keywords pull in opposite directions over a full game. Once you have other creatures in play, this card's own exalted bonus is wasted unless you commit to the single-attacker plan it was built around, and a 2/2 is not a threat that demands respect on its own. It belongs to the curve-out aggressive deck that swings one body at a time, where haste closes the tempo gap and exalted converts a modest beater into a clock that ticks a little faster each turn it goes in alone.
