Gravehand Cutpurse
Forsaken Miner is a compact, repeatable threat that does more than its 2 2 body suggests. It cannot block so it slots into aggressive or tempo black builds that want a resilient attacker with recursion built in. Its commit a crime trigger gives you a practical line of play: pay {B} and recur the Miner from your graveyard to keep pressure on board while generating value from theft style effects.
Play it in decks that exploit graveyard interaction or that force crimes through targeted disruption. The card fits well with sacrifice synergies and flashback mechanics because it returns itself directly to the battlefield. In lore the Miner is a restless scavenger of Thunder Junction who answers every heist with a bony grin and a steady footfall. Use it to sustain attacks and punish opponents who leave their graveyards unguarded.
