Brazen Wolves

A 2/3 that swings as a 4/3 is a deliberate compromise, and the body is where the design lives. The +2/+0 only shows up in combat, so on defense it stays a 2/3: a fine blocker that trades up against most early aggressors and survives a fair amount of incidental damage. On offense, the buff arrives only on the attack trigger, which means the attacker the opponent sees is the 4/3, not the 2/3 on the battlefield the turn before. That gap is the whole point. A creature with a printed 4/3 telegraphs its threat; this one looks like a defensive three-drop until it turns sideways, and the toughness it keeps means it can attack into a board where a glass-cannon 4/1 would not dare. The trigger fires every combat with no cost and no upkeep, so the only thing limiting it is that the bonus evaporates at end of turn and offers nothing while the Wolf sits back. This is the conservative, repeatable version of a long lineage of red beaters that hit harder than they defend: the toughness is doing the work that keeps it from being a pure race card, and the attack-only window is the price paid for a body that is genuinely awkward to block.
