Insult and Draw
Insolent Neonate is a compact, aggressive one drop that earns its place in red aggro, discard synergies, and any deck that values tempo trades. The card art shows a brazen vampire lounging in a decadent hall, which matches the card play: menace makes it a nuisance to block, and the activated discard ability converts leftover cards into immediate card selection. An experienced pilot uses it to pressure life totals early and to filter cards when the hand is clogged.
In play the Neonate is straightforward and versatile. It gives you a cheap threat with evasive value and a repeatable way to trade a card for a new draw by sacrificing the creature after discarding. It pairs cleanly with graveyard enablers and effects that benefit from discard. Add one to fast red lists, or slot it where you want low cost interaction and reliable card flow. Pick one up to sharpen your opening turns and smooth out midgame draws.
