Oreskos Swiftclaw

The 3/1 for two has been white's vanilla outlier since the earliest sets: a body that hits as hard as a curve-topper but folds to a single point of damage, a stiff breeze, or a chump it shouldn't lose to. Most colors get this shape because it's a tension that polices itself, all reach and no resilience, the perfect aggressive two-drop for a deck that intends to win before toughness matters. White getting a clean one is the wrinkle, since white's two-drops usually buy their power with first strike, a keyword, or a defensive lean rather than raw front-loaded damage. The Cat Warrior line is flavor dressing on what is functionally a beatdown enabler: it exists to come down on turn two and demand a removal spell or a profitable block, neither of which the controlling player wants to spend that early. It rewards the deck that has already committed to the aggressive plan and punishes nothing else, which is exactly why it slots into the bottom of an aggressive curve and never the top.
