Nest Robber

The 2/1-with-haste-for-two body is one of red aggro's oldest curve slots: a creature that turns a two-drop into two immediate points and keeps the clock from stuttering while the rest of the hand develops. What sets this one apart is the type line. It is a Dinosaur, a tribe usually associated with lumbering, top-heavy fatties, printed here at a rate that runs entirely against that reputation. The mismatch is the design decision. The body does exactly what a hasty two-drop is supposed to do, while the creature type quietly feeds whatever Dinosaur-counting payoffs share its color, so an aggressive shell gets a creature that earns its slot on rate alone and contributes to a synergy axis as a bonus rather than a demand. The single point of toughness is the tax: it dies to nearly any sweep, any incidental ping, any chump-then-trade, which means it wants to be deployed early and traded into damage rather than protected. Beyond haste there is nothing to parse, and that restraint is its own kind of honesty. A creature priced and shaped for one job, with a tribe stapled on to make it matter twice.
