Discerning Peddler

Creature — Human Rogue1 generic manaRed mana

Rummaging on a body is a familiar red trick, and this is a clean two-mana version: a 2/2 that filters one card the moment it lands. The trigger is a loot run in reverse, discard first and only then draw, which means it does nothing for card advantage but everything for card selection. That inversion is what shapes the card. You pay nothing extra to smooth a draw, pitch a dead land, or feed a graveyard you actually want stocked. The "may" is quiet insurance: if your hand is fine, you skip the discard and just take the body, so the card never punishes you for drawing it when you don't need the filtering. It earns its keep in decks that treat the discard as an upside rather than a cost, the ones with flashback, unearth, delve, or reanimation targets that would rather sit in the yard than in hand. A red aggro deck sees a body that turns a clunky topdeck into gas; a graveyard deck sees a one-time enabler that arrives with a creature attached. The trigger fires once, on entry, so this is not an engine you tap turn after turn; it is a single moment of filtering bundled into a creature slot. Neither reading asks the card to be more than it is, which is a modest, honest piece of connective tissue between a body and a loot effect.
