Speed, Young Avenger
Oracle Text
Haste
Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, you may pay {1}. When you do, target creature with haste can't be blocked this turn except by creatures with haste.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Speed, Young Avenger is built for aggressive tempo shells that want to turn every cheap spell into more damage. A 2/2 haste threat for just {1}{R}, he comes down early and immediately pressures planeswalkers or life totals, while his triggered ability rewards the kind of deck red already loves: low-cost interaction, cantrips, and combat tricks. The best use case is a fast spells-matter aggro build, where cards like Lightning Bolt, Manamorphose-style cantrips, or token-making noncreature spells help you keep the pressure on while repeatedly forcing awkward blocks. The {1} payment is not mandatory, so it plays well in tight mana turns, but when available it can make your best hasty attacker effectively unblockable against most creature decks. In lore terms, the card captures the sense of motion implied by the name: a young hero who turns speed itself into battlefield dominance, always one step ahead of defenders.
