Guttersnipe: Pyromancer in the Gutter

Guttersnipe is a compact engine for spell‑centric red decks. The card Guttersnipe rewards casting instants and sorceries by pinging each opponent for two damage whenever you cast one. At {2}{R} and a 2/2 frame, it fits easily into aggressive tempo lines while also scaling in value for midrange and control shells that run multiple triggers and can chain spells across turns.
On Ravnica the goblin shaman works neatly with burn spells, cantrip sequences and artifact accelerants that let you cast more spells in a turn. Play it early to pressure life totals and later as a deterrent to opponents who expect relaxed turns. Guttersnipe reads simply, performs consistently, and is a practical inclusion in decks that want reliable incremental damage with minimal setup.
