Spear, in R and W, an attempt to capture some sense of greek warriors.
Obviously this complicates combat maths! So there's some common ones like this, where there's only so many ways you can use the ability. But there's potential for uncommon and rare designs on bigger creatures, or creatures with spear 2 or spear 3.
Hm, it's like Icatian Javelineers. I'm not sure whether being one-shot exempts you from NWO combat-complication concerns.
It clearly doesn't exempt it, but I think it helps. The question is, can it be toned down enough to work as a keyword mechanic? I don't know -- it doesn't seem hopeful, but I liked the idea so I wanted to try.
In fact, come to think of it, maybe it should be "when this attacks or blocks". Although that wouldn't work with the "combat only" restriction.
