Feral Maaka

This is the vanilla-plus baseline that fills out a common slot: two power, two toughness, two mana, no keywords, no triggers, nothing to read past the type line. Cards like this exist to give a color's aggressive commons a warm body at the right cost, and red gets its share of them every year. The Cat creature type is the only wrinkle that separates it from a nameless bear, and it is a slim one; there has never been a red-white or mono-red Cat deck that leaned on filler bodies this plain. What it does is honest work: apply two damage on turn two, trade evenly with most other early creatures, and get out of the way of the spells and rares that actually decide games. That is the entire job description, and the card performs it without complaint or ceremony.
