Brazen Scourge
Three mana for a 3/3 with haste is the rate that defines red's lower-curve aggro: a vanilla body with the one keyword that turns it into immediate pressure. There is no upside text beyond the haste, no ability to grow it, no evasion to make the attack stick. What that buys is the cleanest possible accounting of a beatdown plan: three power swinging the turn it lands, no setup, no conditions. Compared with two-mana 3/3s that fill the same aggressive role, the extra mana here pays for haste outright, which is the design tradeoff most red curve-fillers of this shape are built around. The card asks one question and answers it the moment it resolves: can your opponent block or kill a 3/3 before it connects? If not, it has already done its job. That makes it a creature whose entire value lives in the first attack step it sees; once the board stabilizes, a vanilla 3/3 with no recurring threat is the first thing an aggressive deck trades away. This is a common-rarity beater built to keep a red curve honest, the body you play on the third turn when you would rather be attacking than developing, tuned for the stretch of a game where tempo matters more than card quality.
