Quick-Hand Jackal
Battlefield Scavenger brings efficient pressure and card smoothing in any aggressive red shell. This 2 mana 2 2 threatens early damage while offering a repeatable cartridge for card selection when you push through with attacks. You may exert Battlefield Scavenger as it attacks. The exertion cost is real; the creature will not untap during your next untap step, but that one turn of vulnerability often pays for a free scryless mull to find the next threat or burn spell.
In practice the card plays like a small engine. Whenever you exert a creature, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card. That trigger pairs well with one time attackers and haste creatures that trade off tempo for card quality. From a lore angle the jackal rogue is a scavenger of opportunity, slipping through shattered formations to snatch a key secret or spell. Add this near mint English copy to a Jumpstart pack or a deck looking for low cost utility and consistent card flow.
