Regathan Firecat
Four power for three mana, sold at the price every glass cannon pays: a single point of toughness. The math is the appeal and the warning in one number. That 4/1 body trades up against almost anything in combat and races faster than its cost suggests, but it dies to a stiff breeze: any one point of incidental damage, a chump that blocks and lives, a token that does not even need to survive the swing. The aggressive-common template lives here in its barest form, where designers buy a high power figure by leaving the creature with no defensive value whatsoever, then sit it at common so the downside teaches new players what trading really costs. The Elemental Cat is built to attack into open ground and to be the thing you cash in for damage before the board stalls; it is not built to hold a line or trade in a stalemate. Its job is to make the early turns of a red curve hurt, and to do so without asking for a triggered ability, an activated cost, or any text beyond a body. The honesty of the design is that there is nothing to misplay around: you get the four power, you accept the one toughness, and the fragility does the balancing entirely on its own.
