Blood Petal Celebrant
A common-rarity attacker built to trade up and leave a payoff behind. The first strike is conditional and one-directional (it applies only on the attack), so this is a body that punishes blockers rather than one that survives being blocked into. That asymmetry is deliberate: the creature wants to swing into open boards and force awkward chumps, and when it finally dies (in combat, to removal, to a sacrifice outlet) the Blood token turns the loss into a small bit of card selection. The whole package is a Vampire aggro common designed to keep a red deck's damage clock moving while feeding the Blood-token subtheme that ran through this era's Vampire and madness synergies: a 2/1 that filters a card on the way out is worth more to those decks than the raw stat line suggests. On its own it is a fair beater; in a shell that cares about artifacts entering, creatures dying, or the discard-to-draw loop the Blood token enables, it earns its slot as connective tissue rather than as a threat you build around.
