Creature — Orc Rogue3 generic manaRed mana

Dash and looting were both built to solve the same problem from opposite ends: how do you give an aggressive red deck a card that stays relevant when the curve runs dry? This 4/2 answers it twice. As a topdeck in the late game, dash lets it sneak in for 2R, swing for four, filter a dead card into a live one on the attack trigger, and bounce back to hand before it can be punished on the crackback. As an early threat, the same attack trigger keeps your hand churning while the body pressures a stalling opponent. The 4/2 frame is the price of all this flexibility: it dies to nearly anything pointed at it, which is exactly why dash matters, since a creature you can replay every turn never has to commit to the board long enough to get answered profitably. The discard-then-draw on attack is rummaging, not card advantage, which suits a deck that would rather convert excess lands into gas than sit on a fat hand. What makes the design hold together is that every line points the same direction: forward. There is no defensive mode, no reason to leave it back, no scenario where the optimal play is to hold the card. It is a red two-drop's worth of aggression stapled to a recurring filtering engine, sold at four mana with an escape hatch that keeps the engine running without ever exposing it.
