Harnessed Snubhorn
A defensive body wearing an aggressive engine's job description. The 2/5 with vigilance is built to absorb the crackback and still attack again, but the payoff only fires on offense: land a hit on a player and something dead in your graveyard walks back onto the battlefield. That is the tension the whole design turns on, because a 2/5 without evasion or trample is exactly the profile that gets chump-blocked into irrelevance. The engine wants combat damage to a player; the body is far better at holding the ground than at getting through it. Threading that needle (finding an opening, forcing bad blocks, or clearing a lane) is the deckbuilding puzzle the card sets. The recursion is deliberately scoped to artifacts and enchantments rather than creatures, which steers it away from the value-loop trap that combat-triggered creature reanimation tends to fall into: there is no free army waiting to be looped, only the permanents you chose to seed the graveyard with. Fill the yard with equipment, mana rocks, or high-impact enchantments, and each connection is a second casting for free, sequenced around a creature you first have to get through. The reward is real but doubly conditional: build a graveyard worth mining, then manufacture the unblocked hit that most aggressive creatures never have to earn.
