Sterling Hound

Surveil usually costs a color: blue smooths, black digs, and both charge you for the privilege of arranging your top cards and stocking your graveyard. Printing that effect on a colorless artifact body is the move that matters here. Any deck willing to spend three generic mana gets to bin two cards and dig two deep without committing to a specific pair of colors, which is exactly what graveyard-fueled shells, delirium counts, and reanimator setups need when they aren't otherwise in blue or black. The 3/2 rate is deliberately forgettable so the enters trigger can travel: the surveil either loads the yard with two fuel cards or ships duds off the top to fix a draw, and because it fires on entry rather than in combat, blink and recursion effects can milk the trigger over and over. All the value sits on the way in, though. Once the surveil resolves, this is a fragile attacker that trades down against nearly anything with a pulse. That is the bargain the design strikes: a body priced as an afterthought so the setup underneath it can slot into any color of graveyard deck that will have it.
