A 2/2 for two with a minor death shrink is far below Modern's rate and has no credible competitive shell in the supplied context.

Could be wrong if An unshown sacrifice engine could make its death trigger worth recurring.

Legacy demands substantially more immediate impact or efficiency; this small death trigger does not justify a two-mana creature.

Could be wrong if An unshown recursive creature-sacrifice shell could create a narrow use.

The common body can trade and occasionally pick off an X/1, but it is well behind Pauper's efficient creatures and removal.

Could be wrong if A supported black sacrifice deck could value a cheap disposable body more than expected.

Even in sacrifice decks, a one-time -1/-1 on death is low multiplayer impact and easily replaced by stronger fodder or payoffs.

Could be wrong if A commander that repeatedly recurs small creatures could make the trigger more useful.

A two-mana 2/2 is a normal early play, and trading can also finish an X/1 or alter combat; sacrifice support improves it.

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, creature sizing, and removal may make the death trigger rarely relevant.
