Moriok Reaver

Three power for with no text attached is a pricing benchmark more than a card: it marks the floor that black's aggressive three-drops have to clear to justify any printed ability. Strip Warriors of their tribal upside, peel the death trigger off a sacrifice body, remove the menace or the haste, and what remains is roughly this 3/2, the cost of a beater with nothing bolted on. The body itself is honest about its limits. Three power threatens a quick clock and trades up against most early blockers, but two toughness is fragile to nearly any burn spell, any token chump, any second creature added to a stalling board. It races well and defends poorly, which is the entire shape of the card. There is no engine to assemble and no synergy to chase; it asks for nothing beyond a curve to fill and a beatdown plan to belong to. Vanilla commons of this stripe are not the cards anyone builds around, but they are how the cost of getting more gets calibrated, the reference point that makes every keyword and trigger black hangs on a comparable body look like a deal or a tax.
