Fireslinger

A pinger that bills you for the service. The body is a Prodigal Sorcerer in red, the ability a tap-for-one-damage repeatable engine like the one that made Tim a household name, but the red color pie demands a tax: every shot that picks off an enemy creature or chips a planeswalker also costs you a point of your own life. That self-inflicted point is the entire transaction. When red first reached for this trick, the design routed its reach through a currency the color is happy to spend in small amounts but cannot afford to spend forever. Against small creatures the engine is pure attrition, and as a clock the math eventually turns on you: a wizard that drains your own life total every time it fires is a race against yourself as much as the board. The fragile frame is part of the bargain too. A 1/1 that taps to deal damage dies to the very things it is built to pick off, so the ability is only as good as your ability to keep the wizard alive long enough to grind. What it represents is red borrowing a blue trick on a blue creature type, on red's terms, wearing a downside blue would never accept.
