Scrapheap Scrounger
Scrapheap Scrounger is the latest in a long line
of creatures that resurrect themselves,
stretching all the way back to Nether Shadow,
and the prospect of cheating your opponent's
kill spells has always been worth a second look.
(Especially since, unlike its auspicious
ancestor, it's not in the same set as Swords to
Plowshares!) In a sense, it even gives your
other creatures that lack a resurrection ability
something to do after they go to your graveyard,
and that adds much-needed value and depth to
aggressive strategies.

Scrapheap Scrounger (12/6)
If we’re going off of raw
stats, Scrapheap Scrounger is excellent. Being
unable to block makes this underwhelming if you
have to play catch-up, but it's a 3/2 for 2
mana, which means it trades with a lot of early
creatures or just gets in there to do some
damage. Either one is good, especially early,
and it can do well to pressure your opponent.
The other ability, to bring
itself back in exchange for a creature from your
graveyard, means this is a threat thst can keep
coming back. There’s little reason to not just
keep sending this into your opponent, hoping
they’ll fold under its assault, and it's a
useful piece in any graveyard-heavy deck. And
even if you don't have black, it's still a 3/2
for 2 mana that benefits from all of the
Kaladesh artifact support.
