Slip Away Skeleton
Mortus Strider is a compact Dimir tool that keeps pressure in tight board states. The card reads when Mortus Strider dies, return it to its owner's hand which turns dying into a tempo play. Cast for {1}{U}{B} the 1 1 body trades well against early blockers and demands removal, or it keeps coming back to force awkward blocks or repeated chump attacks.
In Ravnica Remastered this creature fits into recursion shells and sacrifice decks with minimal setup. The flavor lines nod to secretive agents of House Dimir and the mechanic feels true to that guild identity. Use Mortus Strider to bait removal and preserve card advantage or to stall while you set up longer game plans.
