Salvage Slasher

A 1/1 body that reads its power off the discard pile: every artifact card in the graveyard adds a point of attack, unbounded, while the toughness stays nailed to one. That split is the design's whole bargain. Power scales without a ceiling, but defense never moves, so the card wants you flooding the yard with cheap artifacts and connecting before anyone trades a single point of damage back. It is a payoff built for a specific kind of self-mill: a deck happy to throw equipment, signets, and disposable trinkets into the bin and treat the graveyard as ammunition rather than a resource to recur. The catch is that none of that fuel is guaranteed to be sitting there when you cast it, and the creature does nothing to stock the pile on its own. As a piece of black artifact-matters design from an era when the color was just starting to flirt with artifact synergies, it reads the graveyard as a count rather than a recursion engine, which makes it loud on a developed board and limp on an empty one.
