Scallywag on the Hunt
Enterprising Scallywag is a compact red two drop that keeps your economy moving. The card reads Enterprising Scallywag and plays as a 2 2 Creature Goblin Pirate for {1}{R}. If you descended this turn it produces a Treasure token at your end step. That timing makes it a clean fit in aggressive decks that also sacrifice or mill permanents to fuel value plays.
In practice the Scallywag rewards decks that plan to send permanents to the graveyard or that use discard and sacrifice synergies. It is not a win condition by itself but it reliably converts a single interaction into late game mana or artifact fuel. The flavor sits squarely in Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore; a quick handed goblin who knows a good haul when she sees one and turns small advantages into repeatable resources.
