Hungry for More
A hasty 3/1 with trample and lifelink is a burn spell with legs: two mana buys three damage that connects the turn it arrives, and the lifelink rounds off the six-life swing that Rakdos aggro so often needs to survive its own tempo. The catch is written into the token itself. It sacrifices at end of turn, so you are renting the body, not keeping it, and that rental clause is what makes the rate defensible: you cannot chain it into a board, only into a single, immediate exchange with an opponent's life total. What sets it apart from a pure damage spell is that the swing lives on the battlefield for a beat, which means it can trade in combat, wear an aura, feed a sacrifice trigger, or crash into a planeswalker before it disappears. Flashback stretches one card across two attacks on two separate turns without asking for a second deck slot, which suits a curve that plans to spend every mana every turn and refuse to run dry. Think of it as an aristocrats-adjacent aggro tool that wants the token to matter for exactly one attack step and then leave the way clear for the next threat.
