Shambling Remains

A 4/3 for three mana that cannot block is already pricing aggression over interaction, but the unearth clause is where the design earns its keep. Cast it for as a normal beater; once it dies, the same body comes back for with haste, hits once more, and then exiles itself before it can clutter the graveyard or feed a loop. That self-exile is the discipline: you get a second life out of one card, but only one, and the body is gone for good rather than fueling a recursion engine. The can't-block rider is the second tax, making explicit that this thing was never meant to sit on defense; it only goes forward. What makes the structure sharp is the timing. Unearth resolves at sorcery speed, so it cannot ambush a combat step or be held up as a trick, but the haste means the returned creature attacks the turn it arrives, turning a card in the graveyard into reliable, scheduled damage the opponent has to account for twice. It is a clean expression of the recursive-aggro idea that black-red has circled for years: trade the body, buy it back cheaper, point it at the same face. The mana is the throttle, the exile clause is the off switch, and everything in between is a second swing for the price of a little extra red and black.
