Kitchen Imp
Madness turns the discard that usually feels like a loss into a discount, and this little flier is built to make that math land as fast as possible. Cast off the top of your hand for a single black mana, it arrives with flying and haste already stapled on, so the two damage lands the turn it enters rather than sitting back on defense. That pairing is deliberate: an evasive body you can deploy for one mana at instant speed, in response to a discard trigger, on an opponent's end step. The madness cost undercuts the four-mana hardcast so severely that paying full price is close to an admission you had no better line. What pays for the aggression is that you need an enabler to reach the discount at all: a rummaging effect, a cycling engine, a looting outlet, or a hand-size trigger that converts cards into fuel. Without one, it is a slow flier that costs more than its body suggests. With one, it slots into the long tradition of black madness threats that reward you for treating your own hand as a resource to be spent rather than hoarded, turning the friction of discard into a cheap clock in the air.
