A 2/1 for two mana that keeps working after it dies: the graveyard activation is the whole reason this card exists. Most cheap white beaters spend all their value up front, but this one splits its worth across two stages. The body trades or chips in early; then, at sorcery speed, it exiles itself from the yard to convert a dead card into a flying Thopter. That second half turns it into a low-key value engine for artifact-matters and token strategies, feeding sacrifice fodder or an evasive body long after the original creature has been dealt with. The design quietly answers the perennial problem of aggressive one- and two-drops going stone-dead in the late game: the exile clause is a built-in mana sink that only turns on once the creature is already in the graveyard, so it never rewards you for nothing and never asks for the activation while the body is still on the board. It is the kind of construction where the printed stat line undersells the ceiling, because the meaningful text is the one that fires when the creature is no longer a creature at all.
