Nyxborn Marauder

Enchantment Creature — Minotaur2 generic manaBlack manaBlack mana

A 4/3 for four in black is filler on its stat line, and the design knows it: the enchantment type stapled on top is the entire purchase. Devotion counts a Minotaur that would otherwise be forgettable as two black pips toward whatever payoff wants them, and every effect keyed on enchantments (recursion, bestow targets, constellation triggers) reads this body as a valid input. That is the whole logic behind the Nyxborn cycle: give plain-vanilla creatures the enchantment type at common and uncommon so an enchantment theme has enough density to function, without printing anything that does something dangerous on its own numbers. The tradeoff is clean. The extra type costs no additional mana, and the ceiling is exactly the printed line unless the deck around it is built to cash in the enchantment status. In a shell that ignores devotion and enchantment synergies, it is an aggressive four-drop with a toughness that dies to almost any burn spell; in a shell that cares, it is a mana pip that happens to swing for four. This is the quiet infrastructure that makes an enchantment archetype viable below the rare slot, asking nothing of the player except that the deck already knows what to do with an enchantment.
