Ebony Rhino

Artifact Creature — Rhino7 generic mana

Seven mana for a 4/5 with trample and nothing else: the math is the whole argument, and the math loses. At that cost, the body lands at roughly half the size it would need to justify the slot, and trample on four power reads as flavor more than a finishing threat. This is near-vanilla design at the wrong rate, a colorless artifact whose sole pitch is that it asks for no specific color to cast. The era's design hadn't yet settled on what a seven-drop owes you, so it does nothing a far cheaper card couldn't manage better. There's no balancing constraint hiding an upside, because there's no upside to balance: the rate is simply low, and the artifact type doesn't bend enough to rescue it. It survives as a tidy example of period filler, the high-cost colorless beater that later sets learned to either price down or load with text.
