Reckless Brute

Three power for three mana with haste is a fair rate; the catch is the clause that makes it pay for itself. This Ogre swings every combat whether you want it to or not, which means it has no patience for a board stall and no instinct for self-preservation. Against an open board it does exactly what red wants: arrives, attacks, threatens the clock. Against a wall it walks into the spear point on schedule. That compulsion is the cost the cheaper rate buys, a design that hands the player a beater and quietly takes back the decision of when to use it. The 3/1 body sharpens the bargain: enough power to demand an answer, little enough toughness to die to almost any block or burn it provokes. It belongs in the long line of red commons built on the same wager, the must-attack drawback that trades flexibility for an aggressive floor, where the only real strategy is to never let the opponent set up a profitable block in the first place.
