Mogis's Marauder

Devotion turns from a passive threshold into an attack step here. Deploy this 2/2 into a board already thick with black pips and its enters trigger reads that same commitment twice: it counts its own devotion when it lands, then hands intimidate and haste to as many as X creatures, where X is that count. The "up to" matters more than it looks, since it lets you spread the gift across the swarm or pour it into a single evasive threat, but the ambition is always the same alpha strike. Haste turns the payoff into a closer rather than a slow build, letting the assault swing the turn it arrives with no telegraph. The genius is the double-dip: a devotion deck wants to flood the board with black permanents anyway, and this converts the pip count directly into evasive, unblockable-adjacent damage. Intimidate rather than true unblockability leaves a thin seam of counterplay (artifact creatures and other black creatures can still trade into the attack), but in a build heavy enough on black to make X meaningful, the right blockers rarely exist. What separates it from the many devotion payoffs alongside it is the axis it chose: not card advantage, not lifegain, not a static buff, just a number the deck was already accumulating, cashed out in one swing. The body is beside the point; the trigger is the whole reason it hits the battlefield, and the card is honest about being a finisher first and a creature second.
