Hotfoot Gnome: Blitz Courier
Hotfoot Gnome arrives as a compact threat you can cast on curve. With a mana cost of {2}{R} it comes into play as an Artifact Creature Gnome with haste and a 3/1 frame that pressures life totals immediately. The card rewards an aggressive plan and plays well in decks that want to convert tempo into board advantage without spending extra resources.
The activated ability taps to grant another target creature haste until end of turn. That makes Hotfoot Gnome a reliable catalyst for surprise attacks or lethal pushes when paired with evasion or extra combat tricks. In the Lost Caverns of Ixalan setting its artisans repurpose courier gnomes for reconnaissance and rapid strikes, a small piece of lore that explains why this card fits into both artifact tribal builds and fast red strategies.
