Creature — Ogre Warrior2 generic manaBlack manaRed mana

The attack trigger is the whole appeal: a sacrifice outlet bolted onto an evasive body, turning the chaff that aristocrat strategies generate into a real clock. Because the trigger resolves during the Declare Attackers step, the pump lands before blocks are declared. A 3/3 with menace already asks for two defenders, and a 5/5 with menace asks for two defenders willing to die on the swing. The opponent's entire blocking decision is made against the swollen body, so the sacrifice prices out the block rather than springing as a bluff after damage. The creature you feed it rarely goes to waste either, since the token-makers keeping this fed are usually built to profit from creatures dying anyway. What keeps it from becoming a runaway value engine is the shape of the reward: the +2/+2 evaporates before your next combat and wants a fresh body each attack, so it pays a board that keeps producing fodder rather than a single sweetener held in hand. This is an aggressive sacrifice payoff for a midrange-to-aggressive Rakdos shell, a common-to-uncommon role-player that wants a token engine humming beside it rather than a card that carries the deck on its own.
