Marauding Boneslasher is a 3/3 for two mana that can't block unless you control another Zombie — a real body at a real rate, with a drawback that rarely matters in a dedicated Zombie deck. Run it in Zombie tribal and the restriction evaporates; outside that shell, the conditional blocking makes it a liability.

Marauding Boneslasher is bulk filler in most formats — a 3/3 for two with a conditional downside doesn't clear the bar in Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, where two-mana creatures compete with far stronger options. Pauper is where the rate is most relevant, since the card pool is shallow enough that a 3/3 for two is genuinely above curve, and Zombie synergies can make the blocking restriction irrelevant. In Commander, Marauding Boneslasher belongs exactly one place: Zombie tribal, where the blocking condition is cosmetic and the stat line is a fine early drop.
