Needlehead Ambush
Razorkin Needlehead is a compact haste in red that punishes opposing card advantage while threatening the board. Casting for {R}{R}, this 2/2 Human Assassin carries first strike during your turn, letting it trade favorably in combat and push through incremental damage. The triggered line reads exactly as printed so you can build around it with confidence: whenever an opponent draws a card, Razorkin Needlehead deals 1 damage to them. That interaction makes it a steady source of inevitability against draw heavy decks and a fine fit in aggressive or burn shells that want to tax opponents while staying on tempo.
The card slots neatly into metagames where every point of damage matters. In limited play it serves as a reliable early skirmisher that grows value each time an opponent refills their hand. In constructed decks it creates tense moments for opponents who must weigh drawing extra cards against taking steady pings. Practical players will pair Razorkin Needlehead with effects that increase draw frequency or with protection that preserves first strike windows. Add this Near Mint English Rare from Duskmourn House of Horror to your collection or playset and put a needle in your opponents plans.
