Boggart Ram-Gang

Wither is what gives this beater teeth. A 3/3 with haste for three hybrid mana is a serviceable curve-topper, but the damage it deals to creatures lands as lasting -1/-1 counters rather than the combat damage that wipes off at cleanup. That rewires the math of every block. Swing into a 4/4 and the defender walks away a 1/1, shrunk permanently; chump it once and a bigger threat has already been carved down before it ever connects. The Ram-Gang never has to win the fight to do real work, which inverts the usual instinct that an aggressive three-drop wants to slip through unblocked: this one is glad to trade, because every hit degrades the opposing board even as it dies. Wither sits between deathtouch's all-or-nothing kill and infect's poison clock, dealing scaled, real attrition instead of a binary outcome, and stapling that to haste on a clean curve is the most direct way to cash in the damage before an opponent stabilizes. The hybrid casting cost rounds out the design, letting the card serve either color of an aggressive Gruul shell without forcing a manabase to lean one way. The counters cling to whatever creature it damages, so the longer a board grinds, the more this little Goblin has quietly taxed the other side.
