Florian, Voldaren Scion
Rakdos vampires have always wanted to convert damage into resources, but most attempts did it flatly: a fixed draw off an attack, a life-payment for cards regardless of how the game is going. Florian scales the dig directly to how much life your opponents lost this turn, from any source. Chip in for three and you look three deep for one card; land a haymaker or a burn spell in a multiplayer pod and the reach balloons. The exile-one-play-the-rest-to-the-bottom clause is what keeps the engine from spinning out: you never bank a card, you get exactly one at the end of the digging, and the window to play it closes at end of turn. That is the difference between a raw advantage engine and a tempo one; the value is real but perishable, so pressure now is worth more than pressure later. The 3/3 first-strike body makes the incentive physical: it wants to attack, it survives the counterattack, and every point it pushes through feeds the next main phase's dig. The design states plainly what Rakdos midrange has always reached for, an engine that rewards the beatdown for being the beatdown.
