Torch Fiend

A 2/1 body with a shatter button stapled on, sold as a single package so the card is never dead in hand. The Devil tribe gives the design its color identity: red gets a cheap, sacrificial artifact answer in creature form, but it has to spend the body to do it. That sacrifice clause is the price. You attack with the 2/1 until an opposing artifact actually needs answering, then cash the creature in for and a destroy effect. The body is collateral the whole time, which is exactly why the design holds together at common: if the opponent has no artifacts, you have a serviceable two-drop beater; if they do, you have removal you got to swing with first. The lineage here is the long line of small bodies with utility attached, creatures that do a little combat work and convert into a relevant interaction at the precise moment combat stops mattering. The narrow target keeps it honest in the color pie: it answers artifacts only, never enchantments, so red is not poaching work that belongs elsewhere. Nothing about the rate is exciting, and nothing about it needs to be. It is built to be the card you are happy to have drawn whether or not the artifact you were worried about ever shows up.
