Forsaken Miner — Graveyard Recursion for the Quiet Job
Forsaken Miner is a lean Skeleton Rogue that fits into black aristocratic builds and graveyard toolbox decks. It trades blocking for a dependable loop. The body is a 2/2 that cannot block yet provides a recurring threat: whenever you commit a crime you can pay {B} to return the Miner from your graveyard to the battlefield. That interaction rewards a playstyle that abuses theft, targeted disruption, and other Outlaws of Thunder Junction tricks to keep pressure on the table.
Play it where you already leverage crimes and discard synergies. It functions as a soft recursion piece that pairs with sacrifice outlets and targeted removal to generate constant value. In lore terms the Miner keeps coming back to finish the heist even after being felled, a useful persona when you want a low-cost, repeatable creature that supports graveyard-based game plans without demanding a defensive role.
