Hit the Line with Adrenaline Jockey
Adrenaline Jockey is a compact threat that turns opponents' off-turn spells into costly mistakes. Casting for {2}{R}, this 3/3 Minotaur Pilot punishes reactive play: whenever a player casts a spell on another player’s turn, this creature deals 4 damage to that player. It also grows through interaction—each time you activate an exhaust ability, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. The card reads cleanly and plays well as an aggressive tempo piece in red decks that pressure opponents while punishing counterattacks.
From a gameplay perspective the Jockey fits into a range of strategies. Use it to lock down opponents who rely on instant-speed answers, or pair it with cards that grant or trigger exhaust abilities to escalate threats quickly. The Aetherdrift flavor shows a pilot cutting through a neon sky which matches the card’s role in punishing opponents who try to "catch up." Add this Near Mint Uncommon to a build that values fast clock and asymmetric interaction. Pick one up to solidify your midrange or aggro shell and start forcing awkward turns for your opponent.
