Bellows Lizard

A firebreathing one-drop with no upside beyond the firebreathing: no evasion, no relevant keyword, just a 1/1 body and a pump cost that turns surplus mana into damage. That ability has a long red lineage going back to dragons whose breath weapons scaled with mana spent, and the design here strips it to the studs and prints it at a single red mana. The trade is in the math: each buys one point of power and nothing toward the toughness, so the body stays a 1/1 that dies to anything no matter how much you sink into it. The lizard wants an unguarded board and a fistful of lands, a creature that does nothing impressive on curve but becomes a real clock once your spells are spent and the only thing left to do with mana is point it at the opponent's face. It rewards a long game played by an aggressor, which is an odd thing to ask of a one-mana 1/1, and that tension between the cheap, fragile front end and the open-ended mana sink is the entire shape of the card.
