Fugitive Codebreaker on the Run

Fugitive Codebreaker is a compact red aggro and tempo tool that reads cleanly in spell heavy builds. For one and a red you get a 2 1 creature with prowess and haste which pressures life totals immediately and grows with each noncreature spell. The disguise ability offers a deliberate transform window. Payable for five and a red, the disguise cost shrinks as you stack instants and sorceries in your graveyard so the card rewards a tight balance between committing spells and timing the flip.

When the Codebreaker is turned face up you discard your hand and draw three cards. That exchange clears awkward hands and refuels a chain of plays that can keep momentum after a sweep or a stalled draw step. In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor this Goblin Rogue fits into red builds that want early pressure plus a late game card selection tool without relying on slow topdecking.
