Rusted Sentinel
A 3/4 for four generic mana is the vanilla-math baseline that has been recut in countless variations since the game's earliest sets: a body any deck can run because it asks nothing and rewards nothing. The single line of text shaves the rate a notch below that baseline. Entering tapped does not cost it an attack (a creature without haste cannot attack the turn it arrives anyway); it costs it a block. Drop this onto an empty board against an aggressive start and it sits idle for a turn while the opponent gets a free swing in, which is precisely the window a tapped-down body was meant to surrender. That is the whole transaction: a fair-sized colorless creature dialed back just enough that it reads as filler rather than a quietly good deal. The Golem typing is the closest thing it has to identity, relevant only where the artifact subtype matters more than the stats printed on it. There is no engine here and no decision the card creates beyond whether to include it at all; it was built to fill out a midrange curve and to be cut the moment a creature with a relevant ability comes along to take the slot.
