Frantic Scapegoat — A Hasty Escape Frantic Scapegoat is a compact red one drop that does one thing and does it quickly. The Goat arrives with haste, letting you push damage or enable tricks the turn it hits the battlefield. It also introduces the suspect mechanic from Murders at Karlov Manor, giving the card a temporary menace state and interaction with other creature entries that can change board dynamics in mid sequence.
Play this as an early attacker, a chump with an edge, or as a tool to manipulate your opponent's blocking and removal timing. The suspect trigger pairs especially well with token strategies or decks that populate the board, since each new creature you put into play can pass suspect along and resolve the Goat back to its neutral state. Practical, efficient and familiar to players who value tempo and incremental advantage.
