Blaze Out with Fleeting Effigy
Fleeting Effigy rewards tight turns and aggressive sequencing. This creature, Fleeting Effigy, arrives with haste and forces you to plan its exits because at the beginning of your end step it returns to its owner on the stack. That bounce makes it easy to recur with mana or protect from removal, and the tap direction of the card text really suits a deck that wants short burst threats rather than long term blockers.
Its activated pump ability for {2}{R} trades resources for damage immediacy; pay once to push through a blocker or pay multiple times across repeated casts for chip damage. Near Mint condition from the Tarkir Dragonstorm print keeps the artwork crisp for collectors while maintaining tournament readiness for players who want a compact, tempo oriented red one drop that pairs well with cheap cantrips and recursion engines. Add Fleeting Effigy to a burn or aggro shell when you want a repeatable threat that fits the set flavor and the battlefield rhythm.
