Etherium Abomination

Artifact Creature — Horror3 generic manaBlue manaBlack mana

The Esper artifact decks of this shard leaned on bodies that earned their keep twice, and this Horror is built to do exactly that without spending a card on a recursion outlet. Five mana for a 4/3 is an unremarkable front end; the design lives in the unearth cost, which buys the body back for 1 generic manaBlue manaBlack mana and a hasty 4/3 swing before exile claims it at end of turn. That second life is the whole pitch: a creature that dies once, feeds whatever cared about its death, then returns from the yard to apply pressure or trigger an attack-step effect before leaving for good. The exile clause is the discipline. Unearth is a one-shot return, not a loop, and the replacement effect sends the card to exile if it would leave the battlefield by any means, so the second appearance never offers a second death trigger; you get the swing and the haste, not a recurring sacrifice engine. Sorcery-speed timing keeps the return honest too: you cannot ambush combat or hold it open as a surprise blocker, so committing to the second life is a main-phase decision on your own turn. The rate on the recast is where the appeal sits. A hasty 4/3 from the graveyard for three mana is a clean deal, and the five-mana hardcast is mostly the toll for getting the card into the yard in the first place.
