Headliner Scarlett, Center Stage Trickster
Headliner Scarlett rewards an aggressive approach while offering a tidy late game advantage. With haste and a three three body she slides into combat immediately and the enter the battlefield trigger clears the way for a hit by preventing blockers for one turn. That interaction makes her an efficient finisher out of tempo plays and a reliable follow up to removal or token generation.
The upkeep exile ability builds a hidden resource engine. You exile the top card of your library face down and gain permission to look at and cast that card that turn. The effect grants card advantage without adding extra cards to your hand and creates interesting sequencing decisions around scrying and library manipulation. In established Ravnica decks she fits where you need a low complexity threat that advances both the board and your card selection over time.
