Skull Skaab

Exploit has always been a mechanic that spends bodies to buy value, but the sacrifice is where the profit usually leaks: you trade a creature to draw a card or drain a life, and the board comes out even at best. This one closes that gap by paying you back in the same currency you spent. Sacrifice a nontoken creature to its exploit trigger and you get a Zombie back, so the classic exploit tempo hit (down a creature going into the fight) evens out to a body swap instead of a body loss. The nontoken clause is the restriction doing the balancing work: you cannot feed it the very tokens it makes, so it will not spiral on its own, and the reward only fires on real creatures worth exploiting. The wider reach is that it triggers off any creature you control exploiting, not just itself, which turns a deck full of exploit creatures into a chain where every sacrifice manufactures fresh fodder for the next one. That is the strategic axis it sits on: not a single value engine but the connective tissue that makes a stack of individually break-even exploit bodies into something that grows. Left alone on a 2/2 frame in two colors, it is modest; surrounded by other exploiters, it is the piece that keeps the graveyard-feeding loop from running dry.
