Quick-Buck Scallywag
Enterprising Scallywag is a compact, efficient threat for aggressive red decks and treasure synergies. Castable for {1}{R}, this Goblin Pirate comes in as a 2/2 that pressures early life totals and sets up value when you manage to descend during the turn. The printed trigger creates a Treasure token at your end step when the descend condition is met which pairs cleanly with sacrifice outlets and artifact ramp lines.
In the context of Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the Scallywag fits the set's hunt for lost spoils without getting in the way of the board plan. Use it as an early attacker, a fuel source for engine turns, or a one mana play that converts combat tempo into lasting resources. Experienced players will find it easy to slot into draft builds that want consistent treasure generation and a reliable two power body on turn two.
