Rubblebelt Braggart

Creature — Lizard Warrior4 generic manaRed mana

Suspect reads as a punishment when you inflict it on an opponent's creature: menace plus a ban on blocking, a debuff you hand out with a removal spell or a combat trick. Bolted to a 5/5 with an attack trigger, the same keyword flips into a rider you choose to accept on yourself. The downside is real but narrow, because a body this size wants to be swinging anyway; trading its defensive posture on the crackback for evasion is close to free for something whose whole job is attacking. Menace does not shrug off blockers so much as tax them, forcing at least two creatures into the block, so a lone chump can't answer it and the opponent has to spend bodies to trade. The "may" clause is where the real decision lives. Because the trigger only fires while the creature is unsuspected, you choose turn by turn whether you want the evasion now or the option to hold it back on defense later; once you take the suspicion, that choice is locked in for good, menace forward and no more blocking. It reframes the mechanic from a debuff into an upgrade with a small tax attached: a card that teaches the keyword's shape without asking you to build around it, and that quietly rewards knowing which turn to pull the trigger.
