Guttersnipe: Ravnica's Small Firestarter
Guttersnipe is a compact clockwork of incremental damage and spell advantage for red decks. The card Guttersnipe rewards a spell heavy plan by turning every instant or sorcery you cast into a repeated source of pressure. In practice the two damage per spell scales well with cheap cantrips and storm style lines while also incentivizing noncombat ways to close out a game.
In Ravnica lore this Goblin Shaman is small and nimble yet reliably hazardous to opponents who misjudge tempo. Use Guttersnipe in burn synergy decks, spellslinger builds, or as a one card clock that pairs cleanly with cheap interaction. The printed text is straightforward which makes it simple to evaluate across formats and deck lists.
