Rationale

1cmc 2/1 legendary human; can't block but evasively attacks. Triggered ability exiles blocked creatures you control, letting you replay them. Signature in aggressive strategies where the blocked creature trigger becomes a tempo/card advantage engine (aggro tempo shells with low-to-ground creatures). Fringe because the restriction (blocked-only) is narrow; best in go-wide/evasion decks that consistently block-lock opponents."
