Sharky Business
Loan Shark slots into tempo builds that want a payoff for casting multiple spells in a turn. Loan Shark is a Creature Shark Rogue with a 3/4 body that pressures life totals while offering card advantage when you have already pushed spells that turn. The foil near mint print shows the card art crisp and the border reflective which makes it an easy inclusion for decks that value looks as much as lines of play.
On entry Loan Shark reads plainly and effectively. When Loan Shark enters the battlefield, if you have cast two or more spells this turn, draw a card. The Plot ability gives you an alternate route from hand by paying three and a blue to exile it and cast it later as a sorcery without paying its mana cost. That interaction rewards sequencing and sets up explosive turns rather than passive value accumulation. Use it in spellslinger shells or in shell lists that can chain cheap cantrips and interaction.
