Slickshot Show-Off — Feathered Firebrand Slickshot Show-Off brings a compact mix of aerial threat and spell-synergy to aggressive red decks. Casting for {1}{R} gives you a 1 2 flyer with haste so it can pressure life totals immediately. The static trigger that grants +2/+0 when you cast a noncreature spell turns each cantrip or burn spell into a combat trick and makes tempo plays more rewarding.
There is a hint of Thunder Junction lore in its posture: a bird wizard who prefers the quick flourish to slow planning. The Plot ability offers a second layer of play patterns. You can pay 1{R} to set it aside and later cast it as a surprise sorcery. That keeps your options open while maintaining the raw, fast damage profile that fits well in spell-heavy red builds.
