Zombie Cutthroat
Pay 5 life and the face-down 2/2 flips into a 3/4 no matter how tapped out you are, and that single substitution (life where almost every other morph wants mana) explains the creature's existence. The printed is mostly a decoy: you cast it down for
, then spring the 3/4 at the moment it stops a swing or punishes an open board, with no need to hold up the unmorph mana. Functionally it stops behaving like a beater and starts behaving like a concealed combat trick that costs nothing on the stack but life total. Life-as-resource morph is a narrow lever, because most creatures are not worth a fifth of your life, but a 3/4 is durable enough to sit right at the line where the trade reads fair, and in any deck already spending life as a currency the flip looks closer to free. The body is plain by design; what is interesting is the friction this creature removes. Where ordinary morph asks you to choose between flipping and developing your turn, this one lets you do both, which is exactly the unmorph timing tension morph was built to interrogate.
