Creature — Human Pirate2 generic manaRed manaRed mana

The risk is the whole pitch: a four-mana 3/3 trample that draws you three cards and then hands two of them (from your whole hand, not just the three you just drew) to the dice, with no say in which go. Most red card advantage of this era was burn-your-hand symmetry or rummaging that let you choose what to pitch; this one relinquishes the selection entirely. The upside is built into the loss. The random discard becomes a payoff condition: line up two cards of a shared type in the discarded pair (two creatures, two instants, two lands, whatever the deck is dense in) and the 3/3 swells to a 5/5 trampler. So the deckbuilding tension runs backwards from the usual rule. Where most card-draw rewards a varied, answer-rich hand, this rewards homogeneity: the more your deck commits to a single card type, the more reliably the random discard pays the body bonus, and the less the randomness stings, because you no longer care which two disappear. It is a draw-three on a creature that quietly punishes toolbox builds and pushes you toward a flatter, more redundant list, then converts that redundancy into stats. The trample is the tell that the counters are meant to matter: this is a card that wants to connect, not sit back and refill.
