Fervent Cathar

The job here is simple and brutal: get damage through. Haste makes this body relevant the turn it lands, but the real engine is the enters trigger, which strips a blocker for the turn and converts a stalled board into a clean swing. Note the misdirection in how the ability reads: "target creature can't block this turn" looks like defensive parity, one creature held back, but the math is purely offensive. The trigger doesn't just clear the lane in front of this attacker; it removes the best lineman standing between your whole team and the opponent's life total. Because it fires on entry, you can deploy it on the swing turn and resolve the path the same moment you commit to the attack, no telegraphed setup. The cost of all this tempo sits in the toughness: a one-toughness attacker that wants to walk into open mana invites every cheap removal spell and dies to any chump trade once haste stops carrying it. This is a creature built to be spent: one good attack, the blocker-removal value, then it has done its work and you move on. It belongs to a long line of aggressive Humans whose worth is counted in turns shaved off the clock rather than in how long they stick around.
