Field Creeper

A colorless 2/1 for two with no abilities is the most baseline body the game still bothers to print, and the only reason it exists is the two type lines stamped above the box. Vanilla creatures at this rate are the floor against which everything else is measured: a 2/1 for two attacks for two and dies to a stiff breeze, and the price of being completely generic is paid in raw stats nobody finds exciting. Where it earns a slot is the typing nobody can pull from a 2/1 Human. It counts for artifact-matters payoffs (affinity, metalcraft, sacrifice-an-artifact triggers) and for the rare Scarecrow tribal build that wants bodies more than it wants quality. Being colorless, it drops into any deck regardless of color identity, which is the entire pitch for a card with no text. The construction here is deliberate minimalism: cheap, fragile, and valuable only for the words in the type line rather than the empty space beneath them. It exists so a designer had a colorless artifact Scarecrow to hand when a mechanic needed cheap fodder, and it does that job without pretending to be anything more.
