Creature — Goblin Shaman2 generic manaRed mana

Bloodrush solved a real tension in aggressive red: the dead draw. A combat trick cast from hand is a card you cannot deploy as a body, and a creature you hold back to block is a trick you never throw. Bloodrush splits the difference by letting the same card be discarded for a pump or played as a 3/1, and the keyword's whole value is that the choice happens on your terms, after blocks are declared. What separates this Goblin from the rest of its cycle is the second clause: it does not stay in the graveyard once spent. Pump an attacker, connect, pay the toll, and the card walks back to hand to do it again. That recursion reframes the bloodrush trick from a one-shot resource into a recurring threat, exactly the kind of grind an aggressive deck usually loses when its hand empties. The 3 generic mana to buy it back is the discipline that keeps the loop from running away: you pay it out of the same pool you would spend developing the board, and only after damage has already landed, so the engine demands you keep connecting to keep refueling. It is a small card built around a deliberately recursive loop, a cheap-to-throw trick that gives a topdeck war a floor.
