Savage Knuckleblade

The flagship aggressive creature for the wedge that mostly refused to be aggressive: green-blue-red is the seam where ramp, control, and tempo overlap, and most of its leaders pulled toward value rather than damage. This one points the other way. A three-color cost buys a 4/4, an aggressive rate on its face, but the body is just the entry fee. Each color contributes a separate combat lever: a one-shot pump that punches it to a six-power threat, a bounce that scoops it back to hand, and a haste grant so it hits the turn it lands or the turn it returns. The bounce is the piece that separates it from a vanilla beater. A creature with no evasion is exposed both to blockers and to removal, and the ability answers the second problem at any time: because it carries no timing restriction, you can return the creature in response to a kill spell at instant speed, then redeploy it next turn. It also doubles as a combat-math reset, pulling the body out of an unfavorable block. That self-protection is what asks all three colors to be honest about their mana: green for the pump, blue floating for the bailout, red for the haste, and a creature this cheap will outrun your ability to do all three at once. The tension is the design's whole argument: a beater that wants to be a tempo engine, gated behind a three-color cost that rarely lets every gear turn in the same turn.
