Rorix Bladewing

Six power of evasive, hasty damage for six mana, with no upkeep cost, no sacrifice trigger, no drawback clause: that plainness is the whole pitch. By the early 2000s, dragons had spent a decade carrying restrictions of one kind or another (firebreathing to justify the body on Shivan Dragon, upkeep payments and sacrifice clauses on older fatties), and the prevailing design assumption was that a flying, fast finisher had to be paid for somewhere on the card. Rorix simply is not. Haste means it can attack immediately and dodges any sorcery-speed answer the opponent was holding back, because the window in which a board wipe or a tempo play could matter collapses before they reach it. The cost is the only restriction worth naming: triple red anchors it to a committed red deck, which is exactly where a six-power closer wants to live anyway. The legend rule is the other quiet tax, though a single copy resolving is usually all the game asks for. As a piece of red's identity, Rorix is the moment the color's flagship dragon stopped apologizing for its body and started reading like a clock: untouched on arrival, fast enough to outrun the answers, and demanding a response at instant speed or none at all.
