Scuttling Doom Engine
A six-mana 6/6 built so that every available answer is also a cost. The evasion clause and the death trigger are halves of the same trap: anything with power 2 or less can't even declare a block, so a chump defender is off the table, and the moment a real blocker trades or a removal spell connects, the death trigger fires for six damage at a target of your choosing. The structure reads less like a creature than a delayed burn spell welded to a beater: the body forces interaction, and the interaction is what pulls the trigger. Only exile or bounce sidesteps the payoff cleanly; everything that handles it the normal way (combat, destruction, sacrifice) cashes in the six damage on the way out. Because the trigger targets, the controller aims the burst deliberately, pointing it at an opponent or a planeswalker rather than letting it scatter. That makes it a finisher for decks that want to close from a low opposing life total, where the on-death burst is frequently the actual lethal line rather than the swings that set it up. The construct doesn't ask to win combat so much as to make winning combat against it irrelevant.
