Warren Torchmaster

Haste usually arrives as a printed keyword or a one-shot burst; here it comes with a bill, and the bill is paid out of your own creatures' bodies. Blight reframes the -1/-1 counter as a resource you spend rather than damage you suffer, and this Goblin turns that spent flesh into initiative: each combat step, you may shave a creature to grant any attacker immediate haste. The per-turn, opt-in cadence is the point. This is not a single-use effect but a recurring engine, and it wants a board wide enough to absorb the shrinkage and cheap enough to keep feeding it. The natural fodder is a creature that barely misses what it loses: an expendable token, a bloated body that shrugs off dropping a point in each direction, or a wide team where one more attacker connecting outweighs a diminished blocker. There is a self-limiting tension baked in, since the Torchmaster can blight itself down and eventually off the board, which keeps the haste from riding for free the way a static keyword would. Structurally it is a repeatable haste enabler that converts attrition into aggression, taking the same counters other Blight cards use to grind an opponent down and instead spending them as the currency that gets your own threats online a turn early.
