Skaab Goliath

The graft of the macabre, built into a casting cost: this is what blue's morbid horror-science subtheme looks like when it stops dressing up small creatures and reaches for a finisher. The body is genuinely large for the color (a 6/9 trampler is closer to a green stomper than anything blue usually fields), and the exile-two-creatures tax is the price blue pays to be allowed it. That cost does interesting work beyond balancing the rate. It punishes you twice if you stumble: you need a graveyard with two creature cards in it to even cast the thing, so the deck around it has to be willing to put bodies in the yard first, and once you do, those cards are gone for good rather than merely tapped or tucked. The result is a creature that costs more than its mana value suggests, because the real expense is paid in board presence you have already spent. Trample is the only keyword, and it is the right one: a 6/9 that gets chump-blocked forever is a wasted investment, so the design hands it just enough evasion to convert its size into damage without making it slippery. It is a workmanlike top-end, a reanimator-flavored payoff that asks the graveyard to be a resource rather than a destination, and nothing about it pretends to be more than a closer that demanded you build toward it.
